underscore for the CCM name:<BR><A

are a few others I have seen; Voicemail port wizard failing and problems with
updating Gateway information. Of course when these problems occur there is a
TAC case that is created and it usually takes a awhile for us to notice the
URL has an underscore. Most of the problems can be worked around by using the
IP Address instead of the hostname in the URL. Also, an underscore is not
supported by Cisco TAC. <BR><BR>Kevin<BR>On Jan 7, 2006, at 10:05 PM, Lelio

<BLOCKQUOTE><?fontfamily><?param Arial><?smaller>interestingly enough, the
underscore is heavily used in the active directory world. we made a
conscious decision in our DNS team to allow these, because, well, without
it, some active directory applications wouldn't work. our unix guru did some
research and basically, as wes mentioned, strictly speaking it's not
supported, but people have moved towards it. so as long as your internal DNS
servers support it, then you should be ok. i think the danger is when you
try to create dns entries with underscores that will hit the outside world.<?/smaller><?/fontfamily><BR> <BR>
