Description

Unable to access Director after upgrading.

IIS Application settings CORRECTLY had FQDNs fo the controllers listed here.

Technically IP, FQDN, or NetBIOS should work here. 

FQDN is actually preferred for many reasons, but for testing and troubleshooting, admin may be able to determine the root cause by testing with the various IP, FQDN, or NetBIOS settings here.
