It's located at
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\CCM\LocationServices
REG_SZ                DnsSuffix

I set that as a preference in Group policy (yea don't help for workgroup 
machines)
DCM could set that too.... If you had communication with the clients.

Here you go Duncan!

$client = new-object -comobject "Microsoft.SMS.Client"
$client.getdnssuffix()
$client.setdnssuffix("yoursuffix.com")

You may have to do a put() at the end to force it. May also require a ccmexec 
restart.

Got yea wasn't clear...  I personally haven't looked at doing this before my 
guess would be client reinstall.

To clarify Brandon, I am trying to change the CCMSETUP client installation 
property DNSSUFFIX, which "specifies a DNS domain for clients to locate 
management points that are published in DNS."  I am not trying to change the 
DNS suffix settings on the client's network settings.

Give this a try.

Set-DnsClientGlobalSetting -SuffixSearchList @("DOMAIN.COM","DOMAIN2.COM")

Subject: [mssms] Change DNSSUFFIX setting

Is there a way to change the DNSSUFFIX setting on a client once it is set, 
preferably via powershell or vbscript?  I made the mistake of setting it on a 
group of "workgroup" machines that cannot access our AD.  I tried to find this 
elusive setting in WMI, registry, SDK, etc. but no luck.  I am thinking that a 
re-run the ccmsetup install may be my only option.  Any ideas?
