Rule Name: Alternate access URLs have not been configured.
Summary: A default zone URL must not point to the computer name of a Web front-end server. Because this installation has more than one Web front-end server, an incorrectly configured default zone URL can result in a variety of errors, including incorrect links and failed operations.
Cause: A default zone URL is pointing to the computer name of a Web front-end server.
Resolution: Change the default zone URL to a URL that differs from the computer name of any Web front-end server.-
