We are using a DNS alias when setting up a central repository during LiteSpeed instance configuration.
That DNS alias is not being used though when checking\connecting to the SQL instance. It is using the name returned by SERVERPROPERTY('ServerName') as discussed in knowledge article number 226964.
Since this name does not match the DNS alias, the LiteSpeed console will report that the SQL instance in question is not reporting to the central repository even though it really is in reality.
We are aware this is currently working as designed. Nonetheless, we want to be able to use the DNS alias rather than the SQL instance name on our systems. This current setting makes it very difficult for us to migrate the central repository to another SQL server. We would literally have to touch on every single SQL server and update the ServerName
