Why remove the ability to enter computers with "invalid" characters?

I noticed that with PDQ Deploy v2.3 you can no longer just type in a computer name like computer_name. Once you hit the underscore it blanks out the "add computer" button.

Just wondering what the reason for this is, as it was previously very easy to just key in each computer name, especially if they were scattered and not in the same LDAP OU.

Thanks.

Unfortunately the Microsoft DNS specification doesn't allow underscores but the server does allow them anyway. We've got a fix ready to be released soon, but here's a build with the fix implemented which you can use to get going again.
