Hi, guys 'n gals -
I've got a client with a SBS2008 environment (migrated from W2k to W2k3 to
SBS2008 in a hair-pullingly frustrating project).
AD domain is internal.domain.com. An ipconfig /all on workstations and
servers alike pulls up both internal.domain.com AND plain old domain.com in
the DNS suffix search list.
I saw that on the server, the tickbox for "append parent suffix" was
selected (must've been there by default). I unticked it and voila, I have
only internal.domain.com as I'd like. (domain.com is real and I don't think
it's a good idea to have it in the search list)
Now, for the workstations, all of which have DHCP-assigned addresses - is
there any way to automate unticking that tickbox? It sure doesn't seem to be
something handled by DHCP.
