Bug Description
Android is unable by "Design" to resolved unqualified hostname.
Google don't want give a workaroud or fix it...

For Google it's not a bug but a functionnality (to force the used of Google online services...)
So, Android can not resolve "ocsinventory-
But it can resolve "ocsinventory-
So when all these conditions are met:
- you don't use rooted device (to modify /etc/resolv.conf)
- you don't have MDM Server (because it's to expensive or you want an internal server and not an online solution)
- your users remove OCS agent from their device...(reset of the device or think you spy them)
- all your device are registred online to Google
When you force install of ocsinventory trough Google play store... OCSinventory Agent could not contact server...
Because:
- automatic report is not enabled by default
- the default url is not a FQDN adress (http://
Why use .local by default ?
Because it's generic dns suffix use only for internal purpose (it's the default extension on MacOSX for example).
