Trying to find IP address of Azure Appliance Configuration Manager

John Evans 20

I need to open firewall port 5985 but cannot find the IP that Application Configuration Manger is using. It's just showing a hostname:44368 in browser.

Hello John Evans,

You can use the cmd command "nslookup hostname" to get the IP address.

in your case it should be "nslookup 44368"

It will give you the output like below

Or you can also use "ipconfig" command in cmd.

Or search with "whatsmyip.com" over the browser.

I receive the following error:

WinRM cannot complete the operation. Verify that the specified computer name is valid, that the computer is accessible over the network, and that a firewall exception for the WinRM service is enabled and allows access from this computer. By default, the WinRM firewall exception for public profiles limits access to remote computers within the same local subnet.

I have opened ports 5985/5986 on the Hyper-V host already

Hello John Evans,

May I know, is this machine resides on Hyper-V or VMware?

Hyper-V. And I figured it out. I was only using one NIC for VM's and the Appliance. I configured another NIC on the server and had the Applicane use that one. I am now able to discover the VM's and they are showing up in Azure.

thanks!

Hello John Evans,

I'm glad that you were able to resolve your issue and thank you for posting your solution so that others experiencing the same thing can easily reference this! Since the Microsoft Q&A community has a policy that "The question author cannot accept their own answer. They can only accept answers by others", I'll repost your solution in case you'd like to "Accept " the answer.

Issue:

Cannot find the IP address of the Appliance.

Solution:

Initially, you were using a single NIC for both the VMs and the Appliance. After configuring an additional NIC on the server for the Appliance, you find the IP address and now successfully discover the VMs, and they are appearing in Azure.

If you have any other questions or are still running into more issues, please let me know. Thank you again for your time and patience throughout this issue.
