Why is Discovery attempting for Reverse DNS when we have set the property WMI is trusted host name source: True

[ngsanya]

We have set the property  WMI is trusted host name source: to True. 

But in the discovery logs for some hosts we are seeing the following error;

TrustedHosts on MID server host does not include the target host, FQDN cannot be determined via reverse DNS lookup, and connecting to target IP address failed.

Doesn't this mean MID Server is trying to do a Reverse DNS lookup? Why is Reverse DNS lookup coming in to picture when WMI is set as trusted host name source?

Thx,

Hi,

what about trusted host list on machine?

Is that server a trusted host?

Thanks,

For WinRM to work, do all windows hosts need to be in a trusted host list on the midserver host? That doesn't sound right!

Thx,

Hi,

what i know is if that is not then it will try Reverse DNS.

You can try with one Server, add it to trusted host and then test.
