Hi,

Does anyone know what sort of syntax APM is looking for in the 'Expected DNS query results' field for the DNS User Experience Monitor?

I have captured response packets and put the exact syntax from the answer section in this field but it still shows as 'Down: Search String Not Found. No matches in the expected results'.

Was thinking maybe it is expecting the HEX values or something?

Cheers

 

BTW APM 2.0 rocks :)

 Has anyone used this with anything other than the default wildcard '*', and can verify that this feature works? Or is a support call needed on this one?

 Using the default '*' tells me nothing. What if the DNS query response is 'No such name', which is a standard response when no A record is in the queried zone.

I want to check for specific SRV and A records so I know my clients can all find required resources in their domain. I don't want just any response from the DNS server and then assume all is good.

I would also like to see a solution for this, specifically for the SRV records.  This becomes more important as we use a KMS server for dolling out keys to our Vista and Windows 2008 servers.
