Domain suffix list replication issue

[korbar]

Hello there,

This is my first post so forgive me if I forget some pertinent
information. I have a main domain (domainA.com) and another domain of
a company that was purchased (domainB.com). In domainB.com I have a
logon script that calls a .vbs file that alters the registry to include
to entries for the domain suffix list. I have changed this file to
include a subdomain (sub.domainA.com) because users cannot resolve some
servers just using server.domainA.com. This .vbs file that I have
changed on both DC's continues to be reset to the old version. Any
ideas on where I am going wrong? Thanks.

Are you adding additional Search Suffixes? I'm not sure what your script is
doing, nor would I understand scripting that well to troublshoot it, but
here's a link on how to do that:

I hope that helps.

In that microsoft article is exactly what I have setup.

SET WSHShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
WSHShell.RegWrite
"HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\TCPIP\Parameters\SearchList",
"testadatum.com,test2adatum.net,test3adatum.gov", "REG_SZ"


I am trying to add another to this list. Every time I add to the list,
which I am doing on the DC, the file resets to the old file without the
addition to the list. I just tried doing this on a BDC and restarted
it and after the reboot the file was set back to the original. Is
there a replication issue I am missing? Does this need to be done on
the DC first? Any ideas?

My first guess would be a Multi_Sz, but I am not sure.

As I previously mentioned, I do not have enough knowledge to troubleshoot a
script other than what is obvious. I would suggest to post it to the
scripting newsgroup:
microsoft.public.scripting.vbscript

Those folks out there will be more than happy to help with this.
