We are assigning connection specific suffixes to our DHCP scopes and would
like the clients to update DNS using the assigned suffixes.
The suffix assignment via DHCP works flawlessly. If I manually configure the
adapter TCP/IP>Advanced>DNS and select "Register this connections addresses
in DNS" and "Use this connection's DNS suffix in DNS registration" the
computer successfully updated its records. Since I don't want to manually
configure ~100 workstations manually I'd like to configure this via Group
Policy. It seems that the two the following GPO settings should do the trick:
Computer Configuration>Administrative Templates>Network>DNS Client>
“Dynamic Update” & “Register DNS records with connection-specific DNS suffix”
For some reason this doesn't do it...
However, if I manually add the suffix on the machine - TCP/IP>Advanced>”DNS
Append these DNS suffixes (in order): corp” & “DNS suffix for this
connection: corp.visagmobile.com” (without "Use this connection's DNS suffix
in DNS registration" checked) the records seem to be updated appropriately.
So it seems that the policy works it just won’t update DNS with the suffix
assigned by the DHCP server.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
