Hi,
Quick question if you know, but slow if you’re trying to find the answer.
The question pertains to NT4 domain and AD2003 domain with XP and Win2k Clients:
For settings such as dns suffix search order, who has precedence: settings configured on the local machine, or settings specified by DHCP?
And is there “overlay”? ie if the first in precedence has 2 search suffixes, and the second in precedence has those two plus a third, do you wind up with all 3 suffixes, or just the 2 specified by first precedence source?
OK I lied – not a quick question but a few questions:
Should you include the suffix listed in “use this suffix for dns registration” in the search suffix as the first search suffix, or leave it out?
and what about the 2 check boxes below that: wouldn’t you always want to register the connection (at least for the primary nic) and use the configured DNS suffix?
What are best practices here?
Thanks for your input
k
