When you join a machine to an Active Directory domain, the machine takes on the domain’s DNS FQDN as the Primary DNS Suffix. More on how the client side resolver algorith works, can be found in my other blog:ĭNS, WINS NetBIOS & the Client Side Resolver, Browser Service, Disabling NetBIOS, Direct Hosted SMB (DirectSMB), If One DC is Down Does a Client logon to Another DC, and DNS Forwarders Algorithm if you have multiple forwarders.īy default, a freshly installed machine, out of the box, has no Suffixes created. The search suffix is used by the client side resolver to “suffix” a DNS query.įor example, if I were to ping a hostname called “serverName,” if a search suffix has been configured, whether automatically (being joined to a domain), or manually (variety of methods discussed below), it will “suffix” the search suffix to my query.įor example, if there is a suffix configured for “,” and I type in “ping serverName,” the resulting query will be “.” If there is no suffix, it will just ping the single name.
