DNS CONFIGURATION THROUGH GROUP POLICY
An alternative approach to DNS client configuration can be accomplished under Windows Server 2003 using Group Policy. As discussed in Chapter 7, the great benefit of group Policy is that it enables the administrator to set parameters for a number of users through one policy definition. For example, this new feature can be applied when adjusting DNS client settings such as enabling/disabling dynamic registration of the DNS records. It also applies when using name-resolution of the primary DNS suffix and when populating DNS suffix search lists.This facility can be accessed from the Active Directory 's Group Policy Snap-in. Look at the properties of any domain, organizational unit, or site object.NOTEGroup Policy support for the DNS suffix search list last parameter will be required in a transition to environments that are not compatible with NetBIOS.
