DNS names consist of one or more components separated by a period for example, msdn. Each component can be up to 63 bytes. Each name can be up to bytes total. The name is not case sensitive. For more information, see DnsValidateName. Name changes do not take effect until the user restarts the computer. Some characters are specific to the character set.
There is a max length for UNC paths characters??? The input field in Windows 10 let you enter a much longer name then 15 characters, but responds with "too long computer name".
The question is: Which number between 15 and 63 is actually valid? Add a comment. Active Oldest Votes. Maximum name length 15 characters. DNS computer names : Minimum name length 2 characters.
Maximum name length 63 characters. Improve this answer. You might however create host headers for a web site hosted on a computer and that is then subject to this recommendation. This seems to have changed. I just set up Windows Server and it would allow me to enter a name with a length greater than 15, but it does warn that the hostname will then differ from the NetBIOS name.
I'm not going to risk that complication, but it seems like I'd be allowed to. Sign up or log in Sign up using Google. Sign up using Facebook. Sign up using Email and Password. In Windows and later versions of Windows, computers that are members of an Active Directory domain can't have names that are composed completely of numbers.
This restriction is because of DNS restrictions. The 16th character is reserved to identify the functionality that is installed on the registered network device. See Table of reserved words. It shouldn't be used with Active Directory forests. DNS names can contain only alphabetical characters A-Z , numeric characters , the minus sign - , and the period. Period characters are allowed only when they are used to delimit the components of domain style names. Other implementations of DNS don't support Unicode characters.
Avoid Unicode characters if queries will be passed to the servers that use non-Microsoft implementations of DNS. The underscore has a special role. But newer DNS servers may also allow it anywhere in a name. Otherwise, import , export , and take control operations fail. You might however create host headers for a web site hosted on a computer and that is then subject to this recommendation.
Because some UTF-8 characters exceed one octet in length, you can't determine the size by counting the characters. For more information, see rfc NetBIOS domain names can contain all alphanumeric characters except for the extended characters that are listed in Disallowed characters.
Periods shouldn't be used in Active Directory domains. If you are upgrading a domain whose NetBIOS name contains a period, change the name by migrating the domain to a new domain structure. The names of an upgraded domain can include a reserved word. However, trust relationships with other domains fail in this situation.
There is no inherent problem with this, but there may be applications that filter the name and assume a DNS name when a period is found. When promoting a new domain, you get a warning that an underscore character might cause problems with some DNS servers. But it still lets you create the domain. Single-label DNS names are names that don't contain a suffix, such as.
For example, host is a single-label DNS name. Most Internet registrars don't allow the registration of single-label DNS names. Generally, we recommend that you register DNS names for internal and external namespaces with an Internet registrar. For example, corp. Registering your DNS name with an Internet registrar may help prevent a name collision.
A name collision may occur if another organization tries to register the same DNS name, or if your organization merges with another organization that uses the same DNS name.
