DNS Servers Group Policy

[thorn_gabriel]

I was wondering, if I wanted to implement the GPO for adding a DNS
Server IP located in:
Computer Config/Admin Templates/Network/DNS Client/DNS Servers

Where could I see this setting on my workstations that are a part of
the GPO?

It doesnt show up in the TCP/IP properties or in ipconfig /all. MY DC
is 2k3 w/SP1and the workstations are XP w/SP2

I need to see if it is working or not before I roll it out to all of my
desktops.
Thanks!

The only clue that Group Policy assigned a different Primary DNS address was
to startup NSLOOKUP and take note of the DNS server it's pointing to.
Unfortunately it doesn't show Secondary or other DNS server IP addresses.
The other place to view DNS IPs issued by Group Policy is in the Registry
key: HKLM/Software/Policies/Microsoft/Windows NT/DNSClient. look at the
NameServer value's data. One thing though, just because the values are shown
it doesn't mean it's applied; this statement seems to be true for Windows
2000, but not XP.
