How to use long hostnames

[Drew Riassetto]

Hello, im new to FOG,

And im attempting to add a new Host to Host Management so i can upload the image to our server. However, my Host name keeps getting cut off and therefore will not resolve.

Is there a setting to change this? we are wanting to use a hostname that is like: Pix-col01.localbackhaul.com
This is normally cut off at Pix-col01.localb.

Suggestions?

I’m pretty sure the hostname field is limited to 15 characters as that is the limit for Windows domain names on anything older than Server 2003 (don’t quote me on that, I’m only pretty sure that’s accurate). The remained of the FQDN (localbackhaul.com) needs to be part of the search domain in /etc/resolv.conf.
