DNS properties

[shimon75]

Hello,
I need to change the DNS suffix on 50 machines. The problem is that these machines are NT and not 2000. I'm looking for some command line utility that can perform this action. Please help.

Run the reg entries below in the users login script.

In the example below, notice that the suffix test.com is listed first. This will also be listed first in the Domain suffix search box order via the TCPIP properties.

REGEDIT4

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\T cpip\Parameters]
"SearchList"="test.com host.com"

Do you know how to do this in Win2000?I found 2 places :

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Servic es\Tcpip\Parameters]
"SearchList"="test.com ,host.com"

and

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\T cpip\Parameters]
"SearchList"="test.com ,host.com"

Both of them changes the DNS suffix but is does not work... May be I missed something?

sorry about that....

I posted the path ControlSet001

it should be CurrentControlSet only.

the above is the same whether it's NT or 2000.
