Sophos Connect client, using multiple DNS Suffix

SaladFingers

Our network is spread across to domains.

How can i add 2 domain suffix's to the Sophos Connect client?

I'm using Sophos Connect Admin to modify the file.

If i separate domains with a comma "," Sophos Connect Admin isn't happy.

    Hi ,

    Thank you for reaching out to Sophos Community.

    Currently we can only use one DNS suffix with Sophos connect client.

    I'd request you to add your vote on the below link.

    This would be reviewed by our Product Management Team and would be considered based on various feasibility criteria.

    Thanks for your reply.

    In my scenario, most of my users are on a AD bound to DomainA and most of my servers including my file servers are bound to DomainB

    What would be the best DNS Suffix to use in my scenario? Where my Domain users live or where my File Servers live?

    Users: DomainA
    Servers: DomainB

    If your end user machine is a part of DomainA, then I'd suggest using DomainB as a DNS suffix with Sophos Connect Client.

    Once a user connects Sophos Connect client, the end machine will then have 2 DNS suffix entries.

    ipconfig /all on end machine may look as below.

    C:\Windows\system32>ipconfig /all

    Windows IP Configuration

    Host Name . . . . . . . . . . . . : PCname
    Primary Dns Suffix . . . . . . . : DomainA
    Node Type . . . . . . . . . . . . : Hybrid
    IP Routing Enabled. . . . . . . . : Yes
    WINS Proxy Enabled. . . . . . . . : No
    DNS Suffix Search List. . . . . . : DomainA
