Hi Shredhaar,<br />
<br />
Thanks for your fast response. <br />
<br />
Unfortunately this didn't work in or out of the software on the terminal server. <br />
<br />
Even if I print a test page directly from the TS it doesn't print to the local printer.<br />
<br />
If i change the port back to private IP Share e.g. \\10.x.x.x\printer it prints fine.<br />
<br />
Cheers<br />

Is it possible to configure Azure to resolve DNS hostname of local PC that is connected to Azure via Point-To-Site VPN<br />
<br />
e.g. <br />
1. Windows 10 Laptop connects to Point-To-Site VPN using the Azure VPN client<br />
2. Windows 10 user then connects to an Azure VM via RDP from their laptop<br />
3. User then opens a program from their RDP session.<br />
<br />
Requirement<br />
To be able to print to Local Printer connected via USB port on the laptop whilst in RDP session.<br />
<br />
Question?<br />
The software uses the RDP Server printers only and is not compatible with using redirected printers. <br />
<br />
How can i map local printer that is connected via USB on laptop into RDP Server via hostname instead of private vpn IP Address so they can print.<br />
<br />
What does work is if I share the printer on the laptop, install the printer drivers on the server and map the local port to the private ip address it works fine. However the VPN private IP Address changes everytime user logs in using the VPN Client.<br />
<br />
Any suggestions ?

Azure: Resolve local PC hostname from RDP server when connected to Point-To-Site VPN

The Domain Name System (DNS) is a hierarchical, globally distributed system responsible for associating the name of a computer, service or other resource into an IP address for connecting to the Internet or a private network. Most prominently, it translates domain names to the numerical IP addresses needed for the purpose of computer services and devices worldwide.

Microsoft Azure is a cloud computing platform and infrastructure for building, deploying and managing applications and services through datacenters. It provides both platform-as-a-service (PaaS) and infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) services and supports many different programming languages, tools and frameworks, including both Microsoft-specific and third-party software and systems. Cloud Services is a PaaS environment and can be used to create scalable applications and services; there are specific software development kits (SDKs) provided by Microsoft for Python, Java, Node.js and .NET. Azure also has file and storage services, data management, analytics and DNS services.
