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.

Didn't say modify... but you can give a new search suffix list through DHCP.  The option # is 135 and labeled "Domain suffix search order".  Hmmm... if that options doesn't do what I thought it did... I might have to pay more attention to this thread.  J

You can not modify the search suffix list via DHCP.

By lots of machines, are you referring to workstations?  If so, are they in a scope that's managed by DHCP?  You could manipulate the search suffix that way...

I'm only running win2k

I'd like to make the script query a text file of client names, so i can just execute it from my desktop rather than a script.

how would i go about doing that?

Thanks
