Symptoms

Assume that you try to configure DirectAccess (DA) by using a Network Location Server (NLS) URL on a Windows Server 2012 R2-based computer in an IPv4-only environment. In DA deployment wizard, fully qualified domain name (FQDN) validation check works fine, but the actual implementation of the configuration fails and an error is shown:

Unable to resolve hostname to IP address.

At this point, settings are rolled back and the DA configuration cannot be deployed.
