pushing out DNS client settings?

[Guest]

Is there a way to push out changes to DNS client settings to Windows 2000 and XP clients? Specifically, I need to check the option on the advanced DNS tab to "Register this connection's addresses in DNS" and "Use this connection's suffix in DNS registration". I'm looking for a way to push this out to all clients thereby avoiding logging into all the pc's on my lan

Is this possible? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance

You can set DHCP to register clients in DNS for you.
Enable option 081 on the DNS tab of the DHCP server properties sheet then
enable scope option 015 with the DNS name of the Zone you want the clients
registered in.

You can also set the DNS suffix in group policies under Computer
Configuration, Adminitrative Templates, System, DNS Client.

thanks for the information. I can't seem to find option 081? Highlight server name in DHCP console, properties, dns tab? Am I looking in the wrong place
