You're asking about MSTSC (Microsoft Terminal Services Client) and domain name resolution.
MSTSC and Domain Name Resolution
MSTSC, also known as Remote Desktop Connection, is a built-in Windows utility that allows users to connect to a remote computer or server. When you try to connect to a remote computer using MSTSC, it needs to resolve the hostname or domain name to an IP address.
How MSTSC Resolves Domain Names
Here's how MSTSC resolves domain names:
1. Local Hosts File: MSTSC first checks the local hosts file (`%SystemRoot%\System32\drivers\etc\hosts`) for any entries that match the specified hostname or domain name.
2. DNS Resolution: If no matching entry is found in the hosts file, MSTSC sends a DNS query to the configured DNS servers to resolve the hostname or domain name to an IP address.
3. NetBIOS Resolution: If DNS resolution fails, MSTSC attempts to resolve the hostname or domain name using NetBIOS over TCP/IP (NetBT).
Common Issues with MSTSC and Domain Name Resolution
Some common issues that may arise with MSTSC and domain name resolution include:
DNS Resolution Failure: If the DNS servers are not configured correctly or are unavailable, MSTSC may fail to resolve the hostname or domain name.
NetBIOS Resolution Failure: If NetBIOS over TCP/IP is not enabled or configured correctly, MSTSC may fail to resolve the hostname or domain name using NetBIOS.
Firewall or Network Connectivity Issues: Firewalls or network connectivity issues may block the MSTSC connection or prevent domain name resolution.
