The only thing I would add would be the addition of a MAC address. The installer does give you a way to generate one but after multiple attempts the only way we could get the engine to work was to get a one that was registered to the static IPs & FQDNs we requested from IT. This may be an issue with the product/mechanism  as well. SAS, thoughts?
Thanks,
Dave

Dave,

Agree with you. MAC address for the hosted engine and the associated static hostname (FQDN) /IP should be known in advance, before the customer starts with installation of RHHI
