SOLVED ERROR: GetIPAddr – getaddrinfo() for ‘COMPUTER’ failed with error code 11001

Hello All,

I am unable to discover machines in SCCM 2016 through AD system discovery.

Getting the below error:

GetIPAddr - Host not found resolving FQDN "NUTAN-PC.CHENNAI.ORG".
GetIPAddr - Retry with system name "NUTAN-PC"...
ERROR: GetIPAddr - GetAddrInfoW() for "NUTAN-PC" failed with error code 11001.
ERROR: Machine NUTAN-PC is offline or invalid.

Looks like system can’t find certain information about the computer object that it needs for a successful import from Active Directory. Try the below steps :-

1. Verify that an A-record exist in the DNS for the computer that is not getting discovered.
2. Verify that a PTR-record exist in the DNS
3. Ensure there are no duplicates of A or PTR-records in the DNS.
4. Run the system discovery run once again.
5. Verify in adsysdis.log that the computer was imported successfully.
