Environment

All supported DevTest releases.

Resolution

The error is saying that there is no known server with the name serverName:Port.

In the Target host field, we need to provide just the target server name or the IP Address.

The target port should be provided in the Target Port field.

One of the reasons this error can occur is the server address and port are provided together under Target host.
