My Server 2016 Essentials can't update its remotewebaccess.com DNS record. The repair in the dashboard says domain service is not reachable.
Is it just me or does anyone else have problems with it?

    I can confirm the same problem on Windows Server 2012 Essentials.

    I can only fix this on the client computer with the temporary fix/bandaid mentioned in https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/51764/remotewebaccesscom-domains-are-not-responding.html :

    • Edit the C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\ETC\HOSTS file as admin
    • Add an extra line like:
      1.2.3.4 myownname.remotewebaccess.com

    where '1.2.3.4' is the Internet IP4 address of your server and 'myownname' the remotewebaccess name you set up.

    Thanks @The Office Maven . I retested and removed the hosts file entry: Still cannot resolve <myadress>.remotewebaccess.com , e.g. opening https://<myname>.remotewebaccess.com in Firefox doesn't work. Only works when I put back the hosts addition.
