Try:
1. Carrying out the command on another client. Any differences?
2. Check the DNS settings in the Advanced TCP/IP properties on the client you are using and the DNS server host (NETWORK ADAPTER PROPERTIES / TCP/IP / ADVANCED / DNS) to see if any specific DNS suffixes are configured.
3. Check your domain name. It should NOT be just .com it should be something like mynetwork.local or whatever.com
4. Check your DNS is not trying to be a root DNS node (there will be just a ?.? Domain withinyour DNS hierarchy).

These are just ideas, not a sure fix.

Tictag.
