VMware View Lab

Hello Everyone,

I am setting up a vmware view lab in vmware worksation.  I have a view connection server, two esxi hosts, view composer and a vcenter server.  Esxi hosts are on 5.5, view connection server is 5.3.  I can log into my linked clone desktop on my lan using the view connection server shortname but not the FQDN.  For example, If I try to log into the view admin console using https://mycompany.com/admin, I get the webpage cannot be found but using the shortname I am able to log on i.e https://mycompany/admin.  Same goes for the view client I can log on using the shortname but the fqdn throws the error I have attached.  Is there anything I can check or change?

Did you ping from your workstation the fqdn and the hostname of the server? Can be a issue with DNS.

Yes I can ping the shortname without issue but weird that I am unable to ping the FQDN or why I would not be able to log into the view admin console using the FQDN. Where would I check to ensure its correct?

You need to solve the DNS issues first, FQDN needs to work.
