    setting up dns suffix via command prompt
    « on: February 05, 2007, 04:56:19 PM »
    Hello all,

    I am having trouble setting up a DNS suffix via the command prompt. I have tried using netsh (which works wonderfully for setting up default DNS server, IP address, etc.), but am unable to figure out how to set a static DNS suffix.

    Second, I need to set this up so that the primary DNS suffix does not change when domain membership changes.

    Both of these are (in Windows XP pro) located under My Computer>properties>computer name>change>more. This is where they can be located through windows, if you are curious or don't understand exactly what I mean; the field there should read "my.dns.suffix" and the checkbox should be unchecked.

    How can I do this via the command prompt?

    Thanks,
    darryl
