DNS suffix guidelines
Remote Desktop Protocols (RDPs) have short host names so that they work for
domain and non-domain environments. The Windows computer on which you
are running the browser-based Web UI should reach your Backup Exec 3600
Appliance using the short host name.
This IP address is a global setting. It does not differ per NIC.
A ping command to the short host name should show you the IP address. If the
ping is not able to resolve the short host name, there is a problem with the network
settings in your Windows computer.
In your Windows computer, you must add the DNS suffix so that it resolves the
short host name if the appliance is in the domain. A Fully Qualified Domain Name
(FQDN) name must be included in the DNS server.
The following example shows doo.rvr.symantec.com in the DNS suffix. Now you
can ping all doo computers with their short host name.

During initial configuration, the appliance is joined to the domain under the
default "BEAppliance" host name. You changed this default host name to a new
host name of your choosing during initial configuration. The new domain
