BES Relay Setting: Name Override
| 1 Votes |
Collections (part of 1 collection)
Description
This name must be resolvable to all the BES Clients that will access the BES Relay or it will appear to the BES Clients like the relay does not exist.
You can change the BES Relays to use either a specific name or the IP address below.
Note: If you have a lot of BES Relays (>100), it is probably a good idea to switch the BES Relays to use IP addresses instead of DNS names to avoid extra load on the DNS servers when the BES Clients do their relay autoselection.
Note: Do not set the "Reapply" behavior when taking this action or you may cause the BES Client to constantly reset this setting.

| When I run this fixlet, I can see that the setting is added correctly _BESClient_Relay_NameOverride, however the relay is still showing Relevant. I assumed if the action where applied the fixlet would no longer be relevant because the success criteria indicates "The action will be considered successful when the relevance evaluates to false" | |
