When I run the serverconnect utility, client loses DNS information and serverconnect will fail


everytime run serverconnect utility, dns information keep changing isp dns 24.x.x.x

i have dns on clients set server ip , router ip remove information , revert isp's.

i've tried removing dns features server , didn't help. tried re-adding features, same issue.

i've scoured forums , tried disable automatic dns in registry keys, still doesn't work.

any ideas?

hi,

in general, dns server installed/enabled when installing/configuring windows server essentials. 

on client, enable 1 nic available. open network adapter properties - tcp/ipv4 properties – use following dns server address – manually enter essentials server’s ip address preferred dns server, save change.

open ie on client, type “http://<ip address of essentials server>/connect” connect client essentials server.

also, make sure client computer on same ip subnet server running windows server essentials when client computer on same network server.

if had manually configured dns server on client, there should registry “name server” ip address data located @ below location:
hkey_local_machine\system\currentcontrolset\services\tcpip\parameters\interfaces\{deviceguid}

>everytime run serverconnect utility, dns information keep changing isp dns 24.x.x.x
there 3 steps connect client essentials:
1. connect server download connector.exe.
2. install connector.exe.
3. configure connector.exe.

if problem persists, please clarify step has problem, provide relate screenshot if possible.
