RE: [ActiveDir] DHCP Issue

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.
