SYMPTOMS
When you try to use the set command or other commands that use the Nslookup.exe tool, you may receive an error message that is similar to the following error message:


 * Can't find address for server TYPE=MX: Non-existent domain

Additionally, you may be unable to quit Nslookup.exe by using the exit command.



CAUSE
This behavior can occur if when the CAPS LOCK key is enabled. Nslookup.exe only accepts commands that are typed in lower case.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this behavior, make sure that CAPS LOCK is turned off.



STATUS
This behavior is by design.
