Host file being ignored?


i have 2  hyper-v nodes joined domain, default domain group policy applied (so don't see regarding dns or hosts). i've tried add entry hosts file on both nodes when try ping hostname fails. 

i've come across similar issue on windows 8 forums seems be related windows defender isn't running on these server. 

been while since i've needed use hosts file override dns, have missed something? i under impression windows used order. 

local cache (which i've flushed) --> hosts --> dns --> wins --> lmhosts


just fyi, can't replicate issue. when make hosts entry resolves ip specified.
