I thought so - thank you!! Yes &nbsp;I knew I had to do it, Just one of those days!<br />
When you set up vcsa I believe it prompted for the fqdn or IP address. &nbsp;If you enter the IP address BUT have the DNS entry set before hand, will it pick up the domain name after the install?<br />
<br />
Thanks!

VCSA 6.7<br />
<br />
I made a mistake with DNS config before confuguring VCSA &nbsp;my bad.<br />
Set up vcsa - login and DNS FQDN works in address window<br />
However once I log in it displays as the IP address rather than the name of the vcsa ex vcsa1-67 etc.<br />
Is there a way to change this?<br />
Thanks! &nbsp;If not we get to reinstall it again ;-)<br />
Doesn't hurt to ask!<br />
Thanks!

Can I rename how VCSA appears - shows as IP address yet resolves via DNS in the web address window

vSphere

VMware, a software company founded in 1998,  was one of the first commercially successful companies to offer x86 virtualization. The storage company EMC purchased VMware in 1994. Dell Technologies acquired EMC in 2016. VMware’s parent company is now Dell Technologies.

VMware has many software products that run on desktops, Microsoft Windows, Linux, and macOS, which allows the virtualizing of the x86 architecture.  Its enterprise software hypervisor for servers, VMware vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi), is a bare-metal hypervisor that runs directly on the server hardware and does not require an additional underlying operating system.
