I have a three node clustered Windows 2008 R2 virtual servers that host Exchange 2010. &nbsp;When pinging their hostname locally on the server, a 169.254.x.x IP is given instead of the statically assigned IP. &nbsp;When pinging the server from another server, you get the DNS registered IP. &nbsp;Looks very funny and also gives problems in email headers when you see the name of the server with the 169.254.x.x IP. &nbsp;I would like to fix this and make sure the system responds with the correct IP. &nbsp;Thanks.
