Hi,

It seems advertisement process is not run if we delete a host ? If this host is the advertised target computer, VPN won’t work any more. We need to restart the server. Is this expected ?

Thanks

It should eventually correct when the failover occurs. If the host is just deleted without first stopping the servers it may not update until a timeout occurs.
