So, what IP does this use? Clearly it is designed to get around bad DNS entries, but…what IP? The documentation is pretty sad, just “use the IP”. What IP? Hardware Inventory would be absurd, can be a week old in our system. Does it use the “Properties” IP that appears to be included in state messages?
Sorry I took so long, But I need to confirm things. It will use the IP address from the device’s discovery. aka device properties.

Cool thanks for the clarification.
It would be nice if it used the current IP address of the device.
DNS is the normal way to look up the IP address. But if you tell RCT to bypass using DNS then there is no way for us to look up the IP address, other than using ConfigMgr data. Hence if you use that option, I recommend that Heartbeat discovery occur at least daily.
