Is there an easy way to do this for many computers, say from a text file?
Thanks

| arrDNSSuffixes = Array("suffix1.com", "suffix2.com", "suffix3.com", "suffix4.com")
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" & "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2")
Set objNetworkSettings = objWMIService.Get("Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration")
objNetworkSettings.SetDNSSuffixSearchOrder(arrDNSSuffixes)
This code should work as is, provided you find a way to populate the strComputer value. In my experience, it takes about 6 seconds to connect to a remote computer and make the changes.

| the article is correct for Win2000 clients/servers - but for XP clients and Win 2003 servers you can change the DNS suffix search list via GPO.
Other option is to use a startup-script for your clients/servers setting the "HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\TCPIP\Parameters\SearchList" RegKey via the script - the script could even query a text-file to set the suffix as appropriate for the respective machine.

| And additional to what Guido said...
you can create your own custom ADM and import it into a GPO (don't forget to disable the filtering, otherwise you will not see it) and attach that to the OU if contains Windows 2000 clients/servers (otherwise you can use group filtering)
The contents of the ADM would be:
CLASS MACHINE
CATEGORY "System"
CATEGORY "Custom Settings DNS"
KEYNAME "System\CurrentControlSet\Services\TCPIP\Parameters"
POLICY "DNS Suffix Search List"
EXPLAIN "EXPLANATION: Determines the DNS suffixes to attach to an unqualified single-label name before submission of a DNS query for that name.\n\nAn unqualified single-label name contains no dots, such as "example". This is different from a fully qualified domain name, such as "example.microsoft.com.".\n\nWith this setting enabled, when a user submits a query for a single-label name, such as "example", a local DNS client attaches a suffix, such as "microsoft.com", resulting in the query "example.microsoft.com", before sending the query to a DNS server.\n\nIf you enable this setting, you can specify the DNS suffixes to attach before submission of a query for an unqualified single-label name. The values of the DNS suffixes in this setting may be set using comma-separated strings, such as "microsoft.com,serverua.microsoft.com,office.microsoft.com". One DNS suffix is attached for each submission of a query. If a query is unsuccessful, a new DNS suffix is added in place of the failed suffix, and this new query is submitted. The values are used in the order they appear in the string, starting with the leftmost value and preceding to the right.\n\nIf you enable this setting, you must specify at least one suffix.\n\nIf you disable this setting, the primary DNS suffix and network connection-specific DNS suffixes are appended to the unqualified queries.\n\nIf this setting is not configured, it is not applied to any computers, and computers use their local configuration."
PART "DNS Suffixes:" EDITTEXT REQUIRED
VALUENAME "SearchList"
END PART
END POLICY
END CATEGORY
END CATEGORY
Cheers
Jorge

| I had a long discussion with PSS about dns suffix search
order lists through DHCP. It doesn't do what is expected so it doesn't
really work and its not supported by MS. You have to use the GPO to deploy
the suffix order.
It seems that this is only here to be used with boot up and
third party software.
I found this out at the same time that I found out that
NSLOOKUP was broke in XP and only fixed in after SP2.

i guess you have a special dhcp server.
anyhoo, i've never seen being able to set this in dhcp and MS claims
you can't here-

That article was last reviewed on 6/13/05. i doubt anything changed
since then.
MS claims its a limitation of DHCP protocol and not their or anyone
