Re: DHCP DNS Domain Name Question on 2 domains
W C Hull
Option 15 within DHCP is not a a search sequence for DNS. Option 15 is the
DNS domain name that you want DHCP to append to the short device name (i.e.
MYPC1.DOMAINA.COM) to form the FQDN.
If you want windows clients to search domaina.com and domainb.com you need
to create a Domain Suffix Search Order list. This can be created at the PC
level by modifying the TCP settings or you can create a group policy. We
have 10 domains we search.
Hopt this helps.
