I suppose I'm sometimes too focused on solutions that will work cross platform that I forget that the new stuff can be different.Can't wait for the next rev and a whole new support matrix to keep after <G>-ajm

Al,
GPO will indeed set it, but only XP clients can leverage it through GPO. The
script option is for pre-XP clients only. Trust me - I work for the
government (well....not really..... but trust me anyway ;))

Last I checked, Group Policy won't set this either.
FWIW, I usually suggest using a DNS structure that allows your clients to
find all hosts. Suffix search order is an expensive way to get name
resolution for non-primary domains and if it's short name, I'm thinking a
cname is a better way to go.
FYI, you also can't use netsh to set this :) Script is the best way and Deji
was nice enough to post a sample.

I've never gotten that DHCP option tag to work.
I'd recommend using Group Policy (which does work) or else creating
CNAMEs for the "foreign" servers. It's OK for CNAMEs to point to another DNS
domain.

Title: RE: [ActiveDir] DHCP Issue
Well,
After
waiting on the phone with Microsoft about this issue for a very long time.
It
turns out that our name resolution using GPOs was working, its just that
NSLOOKUP in Windows XP prior to SP2 is broke.
Once
we got the hot fix for NSLOOKUP all of our domain suffix search orders
work.
Interesting, KB327361.
Thanks
for everyones input.
Charlie
