wmic nicconfig get DNSDomainSuffixSearchOrder (from cmd) returns the correct suffix order

my gpo sets it at HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters.I created a Reg_SZ value called "SearchList" with the suffix values and that shows up when you right click the adapter under "DNS" tab.However, windows seems to use the other key for things like ping and drive mappings,etc.the only way the ipconfig.exe output changes to reflect the gui is if you issue an "ipconfig/renew".Unfortuantely, the other key(that you gave me) has a guid for each adapter.How am I supposed to set this via a custom adm?thanks for all your help.

BTW, does this return the correct suffix for you?

I'm just curious, and not at a place where I can test. I won't be able to see
your response for a long time. Going offline.

thanks.
disregard that last email...
i guess if i find out where ipconfig reads it, i can make a adm to reflect
that and push it out?
Does this also apply to the "real" policy that comes with winxp/2k3 as well?
thanks again!!

When MS introduced that GPO ability, someone forgot to remember where
ipconfig looks for the information it displays. Ipconfig reads the
registry
for the information, but the suffix adm/gpo is not stored in the same
location, so ipconfig will never be able to report whatever you are
setting
in the adm/gpo.
You are not crazy. You are just observing some "known feature".
I can not answer why some clients are not getting your gpo settings,
though.
That task is reserved for "gpoguy", who will be around very shortly
;)

Subject: Re: [ActiveDir] flaky gpo
ok, last time i reply to my own email :)
I applied a gpo to add 3 domains to the dns suffix search order.
these 3 domains show up in the gui, when you right click a net
adapter but
the change is not reflected when you do an "ipconfig".
the output of "ipconfig.exe" is different than whats in the gui in
"network
connections".
also, when you ping a unqaulified name, it doesn't apply the search
list from
the gui but rather the one in the output from "ipconfig.exe"
why is that?
does "ipconfig.exe" get net info from a different place than the gui
in
"network connections"?
why would the gpo apply to the "network connections" info but NOT the
ipconfig.exe info you see in cmd.exe?
and why is ping.exe only using the one in ipconfig.exe and not the
"network
connections" one.
thanks
P.S.- all clients are dhcp, if that provides any clue.
thanks again.

To further elaborate, the setting i'm trying to apply is a
custom adm
file to add the dns search suffix to tcp/ip props.
all clients are win2k.
some get it, some never get it.
the really weird thing is, some clients after being reboot
never get
it but when you type "ipconfig /release" and then "renew", they get
it.
Thats bizzare.
how would a reboot not get the pol but i release/renew would?
thnaks again.

I have a computer portion gpo at the domain level that
is a
little flaky.
For some pc's it applies, others take a number of
reboots.
All my pc's are win2k.
The gpt has replicated to all DC's in all sites.
When i enable userenv debugging on the affected pc,
this is
what i get -
USERENV(a8.1e0) 08:23:36:191 MyGetUserName:
GetUserNameEx
failed with 1326
I can't find what this error means anywhere. It also
fails
with error 1317 as well.
Does anyone know?
thanks
