Brian,
I have not seen the aliases field populate itself other than the
short name. I have manually added all the FQDN's myself. As far as the
DHCP issue, have the admins create a reservation for the clients you are
backing up. They just need the mac address of the NIC used for backups.

Subject: [Networker] When and how does Networker populate the alias of a
client?
I've noticed that when I create a new client using the shortname,
Networker at some point will automatically insert an alias entry of the
client's FQDN. When and how does that occur? Is there any way for me to
have Networker automatically update that alias entry?
We currently do not have an AD deployed, and our client vlan is set up
(by other admins) so that the FQDN of a machine is based on it's DHCP
address, and since those IP addresses are sometimes recycled, the DNS of
the client changes.
