[SOLVED] Reuse hostname Azure

Post by cramaboule » Thu Mar 23, 2023 7:24 pm

Hello,
I setup a custom hostname for Azure. I made my tests, and now I want to do setup a real server. I reinstalled the server, imported the configuration file, however the hostname cannot be the same. It says it already in use.
Is there a solution to 'delete' the hostname? Or reuse on the new server?
Thanks in advance!
C.

A real server's hostname is involved in Azure/DDNS hostname.

Thanks a lot !!!
I found in a backup in backup.vpn_server.config folder the byte Key in the DDnsClient section.
Also when you set up your DDNS name, make sure to save the DNS key! (click on Hint for more explanation)
