A Note on Distributed Network Names

Allan Hirt provides an explanation around Distributed Network Names when building Windows Server Failover Clusters on Windows Server 2019:

The new Windows Server 2019 DNN functionality does have a side effect that does affect Azure-based configurations. When creating a WSFC, Windows Server 2019 detects that the VM is running in Azure and will use a DNN for the WSFC name. This is the default behavior.

I clipped this paragraph specifically because Allan uses both “affect” and “effect” correctly, and I wanted to call that out. Do read the rest of it as well.
