If all your clients are XP, you use GPO to set multiple suffixes. If you have pre-XP clients in the mix, you use a script to stuff multiple suffixes in there. I thought I had a sample script for this on my site, but it's not there right now. When I'm less busy, I'll whip something up and post it. Sincerely,

Under the General tab I have an Available Options Of 135 "Domain suffix search order". I'm trying to get this option configured on a few of my servers because we have a problem resolving names if we don't put in the suffixes.

Are you trying to set options other than your AD domain name? What made you choose 135 as the option number? Last I had checked (and it's been a short while) you couldn't set the suffix search order with DHCP. I don't have one handy to see it to see if it's changed recently, however I do note that the RFC's show option 135 as PXE - vendor defined. Doesn't make me think that you can use it without having issues later. Plus the client wouldn't understand that setting. Curious. ________________________________ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] on behalf of Carerros, Charles Sent: Tue 8/23/2005 10:36 AM To: '[email protected]' Subject: [ActiveDir] DHCP Issue Sorry, I forgot to change the subject.

I'm trying to push out a domain suffix search order however that option doesn't seem to be available on my server and I can't make it show up. I'm working with a freshly installed copy of Windows 2003 that I fully patched minus SP1. I joined it to the domain and authorized the DHCP server and setup the rest of the scope information (IP range, DNS server, WINS server, etc). However when I tried to add the suffix order the 135 option doesn't show up. I have tried this like three times and had one of my colleagues review what I did and we can't figure it out. Any suggestions??
