DNS domain name in DHCP

A

ade

Hi all,

Our AD domain name is say abd.domainname.com, but when dhcp was been setup,
option15 (DNS domain name) is set to just domainname.com, not
abd.domainname.com, is this correct? I can't imagine why it would be, but
thought it better to ask here first.

As always, any help much appreciated.

No that's not generally correct (but could be if you have a parent domain),
but is only the connection specific domain-name so won't break anything.
The DNS resolver will use both the Primary DNS suffix and the connection
specific suffix in resolving unqualified names.
