Append DNS suffixes (in order)

[AmindraS]

Hi,

We have a network which runs with windows 2003 AD server and a DNS
server. We have about 150 client PCs and they all run win XP.


Usually, whenever I setup a XP client, I manually append (enter) a
list of FQDNs as DNS suffixes (in order) to resolve some of the
addresses.


Is there any way that I can configure the existing DNS server to
support the resolution of all these additional FQDNs rather than me
configuring each XP client manually?

You can set the additional DNS suffixes on your DHCP server....but what's
the reason it needs to be done in the first place? You might post in
microsoft.public.windows.server.dns for more specific help.
