I think that I understand your request.   I agree that these 2 should not
behave differently.  
 
Since the one that you show in the logs is using VNETD, is it in a DMZ or
outside the firewall?  It looks like they are on the same subnet as the
server, so it should not be an issue.  But it may.
 
I have some clients that can't do dns because the dns server is inside the
firewall and they can't get to it.  these 2 clients may not be designed to
use DNS so they won't attach to just anyone for whatever their purpose is.
 
Also, did the admins set up the client correctly.  These 2 clients may not
be able to do DNS.  Although that should give you a 59 exit status (I have
plenty of this happening).
 
To get the data to tape, you may want to put the master/media in the hosts
file on the client.

As I mentioned below... I know that will work.  However, the same
configuration on 50 other clients works just fine and server01 resolves to
server01.intersil.com without issue.  I'm wondering if there is a client
switch that tells NBU to be a little less picky.

You're getting a invalid server error. Add this to the client SERVER =
server2.intersil.com

 

For Windows clients it gets added to the registry. You can do it through the
client's Backup,Archive and restore GUI. Go to "file" click on "Specify NBU
machines and polices" the nedit server list. Add the FQDN to the client.
Stop and restart NBU client services.

Server: 6.0 MP4

Client 5.1 MP5

 

I'm working on DNS authentication for my back end (versus huge hosts files)
and I've got it working for most clients.  Two clients however refuse to
work.  NBU documentation says add the FQDN to your media servers list, but
isn't there a switch to turn off the client's DNS Nazi tendencies?  Fair
enough I could just add the entries to the hosts files or add the FQDNs to
the servers list, but this works on 50 other servers including several fresh
server installs. ?!
