Register client with fqdn
Is there a way to register a Windows client with it showing up as fqdn in Avamar Admin instead of just the short name or "NetBIOS" name? I notice the Paging Address gets picked up with the fqdn, but that's not how you see it in AvAdmin obviously, we'd like to standardize with fqdn since that's how our current TSM and CommVault systems register them, which are being migrated to Avamar. When you got servers like a dc1 or dc2 or whatever, just hard to keep track of in the gui with a 3 letter client name.

Hi,
You can use batch client registration feature that enables you to define multiple clients with a single “clients definition” file, then import that file into the Avamar server.
Avamar supports two formats for the clients definition file:
◆ Extensible Markup Language (XML)
◆ Comma-Separated Values (CSV)
XML format: As per Admin Guide
host_name="MyClient.Example.com"
mcs_domain="clients"
mcs_group="MyGroup"
dataset="MyDataset"
retention_policy="MyRetentionPolicy"
contact_address="192.168.31.5"
contact_port="28002"
access_list="user1@avamar:password, user2@LDAP"
encryption="high"
encryption_override="false"
/>
Please go through Admin guide for more details on Batch file client registration. Page 53. You should understand first what are different attributes and which are optional in above given format.

XML format Example -
Once you import XML file, you will get an option to validate the file and commit.
The Question Mark (?) with client name indicates that client is unregistered. You need to invite this client to activate.
