I need to change the DNS suffix on about 80 WinXP PC's. Netsh does lots,
but I can't find this in there. Any way to change it in a batch file (such
as a logon script)?
 
It would be much easier to configure option 15 on your DCHP scope.

If you want to do it with a script, I would identify the registry change it
made, create a REG file, and deploy it using REG.EXE from a batch file.
 
Not running DHCP. Unfortunately, the location for the change changes per PC,
even identical ones, because it is located under a CLSID
({0A5F7CB4-8758-4B54-BFED-190808CEE659}) which is located under Interfaces,
and this CLSID is different on different PCs.
