SYMPTOMS
Windows Terminal Server clients may not list Terminal Server names under the DNS domain group in the connect list when browsing using DNS. They are listed as IP addresses instead of names.



CAUSE
This problem is because the Windows Terminal Server names start with the DNS group name defined on the client using the registry key BrowseDNSDomain.



RESOLUTION
To work around this problem, use server names that do not start with the DNS group name.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Windows NT Server 4.0, Terminal Server Edition. We are researching this bug and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.



MORE INFORMATION
Windows Terminal Server clients can build a connect list Of Terminal Servers using DNS based on the group name configured on the client. The group name is defined on the client using the registry key BrowseDnsDomain.

In certain cases, however, clients are unable to list the Terminal Server names that it received from the DNS server and lists only the IP addresses. This can happen if the server names start with the group name.
