Checking whether a computer can see an SRV record

To check whether a computer can see an SRV record, use the nslookup command:

C:\> nslookup -type=SRV _smartremoteink._tcp.example.local

Optionally, on the computer where Remote Ink service is installed, use the following command:

powershell.exe -noexit “C:\Program Files\SMART Technologies\Remote Ink Service\Tools”\ManageSrvRecord.ps1 –query -nameserver dc1 -zone example.local

Whenever Remote Ink client connects to Remote Ink service, an entry is made in the Remote Ink software event log on the computer hosting Remote Ink client. This connection information could be useful in troubleshooting issues.

For example, the following log entry shows that Remote Ink client discovered the Remote Ink service by looking up its DNS SRV record:

Example 

Discovered service net.tcp://ink.example.local:35706/RemoteInk via SRV

The following entry example shows that Remote Ink client previously connected to Remote Ink service and cached the Remote Ink service information. Remote Ink service then used the cached information to connect this time:

Example 

Discovered service net.tcp://ink.example.local:35706/RemoteInk in Cache
