Using /altdns

If you are using a non-Microsoft DNS server (such as Unix) or if you are in a non-domain
configuration (such as a workgroup), you can use the /altdns option to disable
Application Manager from checking and utilizing Microsoft DNS.

Note: The DFO line is still currently generated in scripts.

To run Application Manager in this mode, from command prompt, enter dtam
/exchange /altdns. This command must be run from the location where Storage
Mirroring Recover is installed.
