Internet DNS servers must be registered with a fully qualified domain name (FQDN) for the site systems that will support Internet-based client management, so that clients on the Internet can resolve the FQDN of Internet-based site systems to the public IP address of the Internet-based servers. These same Internet FQDNs must also be configured in Configuration Manager 2007 with the same Internet FQDNs.
The site system roles that can support Internet-based client management are the following:
- Management point
- Distribution points
- Fallback status point
- Software updates point
To configure the Internet FQDN of site systems that will support Internet-based client management
-
In the Configuration Manager console, navigate to System Center Configuration Manager / Site Database / Site Management / <site code> - <site name> / Site Settings / Site Systems.
-
Select the first server that will support Internet-based client management to display the list of roles.
-
Right-click ConfigMgr Site System, and then select Properties.
-
On the General tab, select Specify an Internet fully qualified domain name for this site system.
-
In the Internet FQDN text box, enter the Internet FQDN that is registered on the public Internet DNS for the server.
-
Click OK.
-
Repeat steps 3 to 6 for any remaining servers that will support Internet-based client management.
