XCLN: Substitute IP Address for Server Name

ID: Q153766


The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Exchange Windows 3.x client, versions 4.0, 5.0
  • Microsoft Exchange Windows NT client, versions 4.0, 5.0
  • Microsoft Exchange Windows 95/98 client, versions 4.0, 5.0


SUMMARY

If the ability of a network to resolve NetBIOS names is in question, or you want to target name resolution as the network fault, the following technique may be useful.

You can substitute the IP address (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx) for the Microsoft Exchange Server Name in the Microsoft Exchange Setup Wizard or when adding a profile in the Windows 3.1, Windows 95 and Windows NT clients.

The Exchange MS-DOS client will not allow this substitution.
