Does anyone know what will cause this error in an agent : Notes error: The remote server is not a known TCP/IP host.
Subject: agent error
Hassan,
probably your agent has some code that connects the agent to a server - either the one the agent is running on or another “remote” server.
What happens now is that Domino tries to resolve this servername to an IP address - even if it is only his OWN servername.
So what I guess is that the server cannot properly resolve the servername in the agent to an IP address.
This is a common problem with a local server - as sometimes (if DNS is not used) administrators overlook to enable a server to resolve his OWN name. Especially common if you’re working with HOSTS files.
Additionally, you probably won’t have a connection document from this server to HIMSELF in your NAB - so Domino needs to rely on the name resolution of the operating system.
Hope that gives you some hint how to solve this.
