Fix for 'An invalid name was supplied' error when modeling win 2012r2

I got this error when modeling a windows 2012R2

Error on servername: ('An invalid name was supplied', 131072), ('Success', 100001)

I've been strugling to find a solution, but the best I could find (here) was to add into the /etc/hosts the hostname of the server

10.10.10.10 servername.my_windows_domain severname

Now the device can be modeled without more issues
