As it is lab, we can add Ip address of agent to master hosts file.But if I have 1000 agents(partly windows and Linux machines), we can't add each and every agent to hosts file of master.How to manage there? I am from a windows background, please treat me as layman and guide me.

You should add the agent machines to DNS, so you can manage name - IP mappings via DNS.

Yeah, I do understand that, but all the servers in our network are windows based. ANd able to ping each other machines (windows) with hostnames, but not the Linux machines. How to fix this? I even installed wins but no use. I am using mostly ubuntu machines for linux – Uday Kiran Reddy Aug 04 '20 at 12:59

You need to set up DNS infrastructure in your network. I don't know how to do that on Windows servers. – Tero Kilkanen Aug 04 '20 at 15:21

Yes, there is already a dns infrastructure through which all the windows machines able to connect each other. Do we need a separate server infrastructure for Linux machines? – Uday Kiran Reddy Aug 04 '20 at 16:27

You need to set up Linux machines to use your existing DNS infrastructure then. – Tero Kilkanen Aug 04 '20 at 19:14

WINS has nothing to do with DNS. You need to set up your Linux machines DNS server settings to your internal DNS servers. – Tero Kilkanen Aug 05 '20 at 07:33

And to make it simple, we are using Workgroup environment, not AD. – Uday Kiran Reddy Aug 06 '20 at 08:58

I don't know if there are DNS services in your environment or not. I don't know Windows system well enough to know if they actually have DNS or not. – Tero Kilkanen Aug 06 '20 at 12:24
