asked on

RDP name and Hostname

I have some computers that I access through RDP.
They gave me the names of the computer to access through RDP
for instance when I open RDP an type Xcomputer  click OK then authenticate then I am able to login to the machine.
When I go and verify the name of the computer I find that it is not Xcomputer it is Ycomputer.
I wonder how did they make that happen, I mean use one name on the RDP window to login then findout that the hostname is completely different than what is typed in the RDP window.
Thanks

I can not RDP to it now as I used , they might have removed the CNAME record from DNS,
I cannot verify it.
Thanks
