NTT - NSRDDRCHK does not recognize a DD if run on a NW/Windows Server

Hello,

I want to make Dell/EMC support aware of a general issue which has now been due for some years. First time I discovered it with NTT 1.4.0. The problem is that for the routine NSRDDRCHK a configured DD will only be recognized if you deal with a NW/Linux server - there is no luck if you do it from a NW/Windows server. This problem persists up to the current NTT version 1.7.0.

Unfortunately, the examples listed in the User Guide only show the usage on a NW/Linux server - it might well be that the behavior has never been tested with NW/Windows.

Now - details from the log file point to a problem with name resolution and FQDN usage instead of an IP address. This is misleading as I do not use IP addresses to access the DD and that it obvioulsy does not matter for a NW/Linux server whether a short or a FQDN will be used at all.

Of course I could add screenshots here but the issue is easily reproduceable that it only takes you minutes to verify the behaviour.

As it is of general interest, I thought it might be useful to correct the issue for the benefit for all customers.
