Getting the fully qualified domain name or IP address of your management
station
The fully qualified domain name consists of ([servername].[domain name]).
To get the fully qualified domain name or the IP address of your management station:
1. Open the command prompt window on your management station.
2. Type ipconfig /all at the prompt.
In the Windows IP Configuration window, verify the following:
• The Host Name (your management station's name) and the Primary DNS Suffix together form the
fully qualified domain name.
• The IP address, listed under Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection, is the default IPv4 address.
If IPv6 is enabled on your management station, the respective IP address is mentioned as IPv6
Address under Tunnel adapter Local Area Connection. The following is a sample IPv6 address:
0000:a00:b000:a00:b000. To verify if IPv6 is enabled for your management station:
1. Click Start > Run, and type ncpa.cpl in the command line.
2. Right-click your network in the Network connections window.
