Set Primary DNS Suffix Using Powershell

For a Windows Server 2012 installation, what Powershell cmdlet can be used to change the Primary DNS Suffix ? I've tried using 'Set-DnsClientGlobalSetting -SuffixSearchList contoso.com' but this only alters the DNS Suffix Search List, not the primary DNS
suffix.

You might want to take you question to one of two forums that specialist in scripting issues.
For PowerShell specific questions -

They have a lot of really sharp scripting people in those forums.

Setting the DNS Suffix in Windows-2000:

This is a solution for the frequent problem that arises during installation of iPlanet Application Server on Windows-2000 platform.
Problem: After installation completes, the installation directory remains empty, there is no entry of iAS in "Windows start menu". It doesn't install anything.
Remedy: Set the DNS Suffix.
Procedure:
Right click on My computer (icon on desktop or in windows-explorer), then click on properties, go to Network identification Tab, Click on properties, then click the more button, set the Primary DNS suffix (like india.sun.com), and also check the Change Primary DNS suffix when domain membership change check box, click all Ok buttons.
Note:
1. Make sure that it is added to the windows registry:
Just run regedit and click on the My Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM \ControlSet001\Services \Tcpip\Parameters key, you will see the Domain key value set to your domainname, otherwise enter the domain name into this key value, and than reboot the m/c, and than reinstall the iAS. It should work.
2. Make sure you are using static IP address.

How to set a DNS suffix?

Howdy!
Is it possible to insert a DNS suffix somewhere in OSX 10.4.8? I've been googling forever, but all that comes up about DNS suffixes is Windows related.
Any ideas?

What do you mean by 'DNS suffix'?
If you mean a domain name that's automatically appended to hostnames when resolving, add the domains you want to the 'Search Domains' in Network preferences.

Creating Subdomain DNS Entries using Powershell

Hello There,
I created a Powershell script to add some SRV records on a AD-Integrated Zone that Works fine.
The problem is, I created some subdomains (Right-Clicking on the DNS zone and then adding a new Domain) and I cannot create the records on these subdomains using the shell.
My Script is this one:
Import-CSV TEST.CSV | ForEach-Object -Process {Add-DnsServerResourceRecord -ZoneName ccr.intranet -A -DomainName $_.Hostname -Ipv4Address $_.IP}
It´s working really fine. But, when I try to reference the zone as subdomain.ccr.intranet (example), I cannot create the record, because it tells me that the subdomain is not actually a zone.
Is there any ways to create these records using the Powershell Script? I have more than 300 srv records and, even I need to create then manually, I really doubt that this is the Only way to do that.
Thanks!

... I'm a little confused, sorry. So, you want to create an SRV record in ipaosb.ccr.intranet such as _sip._tcp.ipaosb.ccr.intranet, but when you specify the zone as ipaosb.ccr.intranet, it tells you no such zone.
What happens if you try this?
Add-DnsServerResourceRecord -Srv -ZoneName ccr.intranet -Name _sip._tcp.ipaosb -DomainName as2metrobah.ccr.intranet -Port 5060 -Priority 0 -Weight 0
Where _sip._tcp.ipaosb would be replaced by $_.hostname, and reflected in the CSV?

Set userpath to homefolder using powershell

I've created a partition " H:\ " with several folders for different usergroups.
One of these groups is ICT.
When i run the following script the path for the users is set to the correct folder
Get-ADUser -filter * -SearchBase "OU=All_ICT,DC=LUMO,DC=local" |
% { Set-ADUser $_ -HomeDrive "H:" -HomeDirectory ("\\ServerLUMO\ICT_share\" + $_.SamAccountName) }
The problem is that this path isn't applied. When i go to the usersprofile in AD and i backspace one caracter and retype it i can click " Apply" and it works like a charm....
My question is, how can i achieve this in the powershellscript?

sorry, same problem. It doesn't automatically make the folders for the users
Ah sorry, I didn't realize that you didn't have the paths already created. Try this:
Get-ADUser -Filter * -SearchBase 'OU=All_ICT,DC=LUMO,DC=local' | ForEach {
$homeDir = Join-Path -Path '\\ServerLUMO\ICT_share' -ChildPath $_.SamAccountName
If (!(Test-Path -Path $homeDir)) { New-Item -Path $homeDir -ItemType Directory }
Set-ADUser $_.SamAccountName -HomeDrive 'H:' -HomeDirectory $homeDir

DNS Suffixes

Is statement below true ? I can't find any information relating to the
maximum search entries you can define that is feasible, whether its
thru GPO or connection-specific settings.
"The DNS suffix search list can only contain a list that
can be searched in a maximum of 12 seconds, this translates to
around 10 entries. Anything more than that will result in failed name resolution
unless WINS is still being used. "
Regards,

Do not configure DNS suffix settings through a GPO, its unreversable and nasty. To reverse it you need to modify a registry key on every workstation, or do a ADSI Edit workaround.
By default, the Primary DNS Suffix of a member computer of an Active Directory domain is configured to automatically change when domain membership of a computer changes, or if the DNS name of the domain to which the computer is joined changes. This automatic DNS Suffix update change is controlled by this registry key:
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters
REG_DWORD SyncDomainWithMembership is set to 0x1
This is default for every Windows 2K/XP/2K3 PC.
If you enable a Group Policy object which applies the DNS Suffix to all workstations under Computer Configuration --> Administrative Templates -->
Network --> DNS Client, what this does is permanently change the default behaviour by deleting the SyncDomainWithMembership registry key from all Member Computers and adding a new registry key under:
HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\System\DNSclient
If a previous administrator has done this, you can either setup a method to re-instate this registry key on every PC in your domain, or create a workaround using ADSI Edit to configure Active Directory to accept multiple DNS suffixes.
The work around:
1. Open up ADSIEdit and connect to the Domain Partition.
2. Right click on the domain root and go properties.
3. Modify the msDS-AllowedDNSSuffixes multi-valued attribute and adding in all DNS Suffixes you have on your domain.
Sorry I didnt answer your question directly and going off topic but I hate when Administrators configure DNS suffixes through means of GPO because it does cuases these annoying problems especially if you ever need to do a Domain Migration or Domain Rename.
Kind Regards,
Clint Boessen

Csa 5.2 defining dns suffixes as home nets

I am struggling to find any documentation that tells me how a system state defined by dns suffix is parsed. If i look in the dns suffix list (ipconfig /all) my local dns suffix for the company is always present, even if i am offline, this is also true at customer sites, they have their primary dns suffix in the list always, no matter where they are. I am wanting to use dns suffix to define an offline/online policy, since ip and mngt center reachable/unreachable is unacceptable, no supported redundant csamc and ip is just useless to define this function. Anybody tried to do policies like this ?

Hi Jan, it sounds like the machines in question have the DNS suffix appended to the computer name. These will always appear in the suffix search if that's the case.
Connection-specific or dynamic (DHCP) DNS should work for what you are trying to do.
I tried it and it seems to work as expected.

Append to DNS Suffix greyed out

I recently installed windows 8.1. For my work i need to connect to multiple domain, i tried to add all my work domains to DNS Suffix but its greyed out.
Based on prior threads on this forum, I have updated following Group Policy (Computer -> Administrative Templates -> Network -> DNS Client
Allow DNS Suffix appending to unqualified multi-label name queries -> Enabled
Primary DNS suffix -> Enabled (with list of my domains)
DNS suffix search list -> Enabled (with list of my domains)
Primary DNS suffix devolution -> Enabled
DNS Suffix option is still greyed out. Not sure what to do, could someone help please.
Thanks in advance for your support

Hi Gigi,
Since you have forced the DNS suffix list in GP, then the DNS suffix option should be greyed out, it's a normal phenomenon because you have forced everything by GP, right?
If you still want to add some list to the suffix search list, you should add it by GP.
If you want to set the option directly, you can disable the policy you have enabled.
If I misunderstood something, please free correct me, a screenshot would be very helpful.

Wrt160n connection specific dns suffix

I have a WRT160N router that has been working great until I switched to a new ISP. The router configurations stayed the same, I just switched from a DSL modem to a cable modem (Motorola SB5100). The problem is the "connection specific DNS suffix" is being appended to the computer names and returning an incorrect IP address. Internet access is working fine. It appears that the DHCP is allowing the DNS suffix from the modem to push through to the DHCP clients.

Sorry about the misleading computer name, I'm not using a server for my DHCP. I'm using the router (WRT160N) as the DHCP server. This is just a home setup with 4-6 computers networked together. I use file sharing with the computer I call "home-server". I use RDP to connect to the other computers. Now when I try to connect to another computer with just the computer name, the remote desktop fails to find the client. If I RDP the client computer with the IP address it connects, no problem.
Netbios over TCP/IP is enabled.

DNS Issues, can't set static DNS server

I have an Airport Extreme (which I'll call the router). It has an IPv6 tunnel (to Hurricane Electric), so it hands out IPv4 DHCP and announces an IPv6 network as well. The DNS servers configured on the router are OpenDNS'.
My Apple TV 2 is connected via wired Ethernet to the router. It was using a DHCP address provided by the router, which made the DNS server the same address as the router. I wanted to manually set the DNS to use my ISP's, so that I can make sure the Netflix streaming issue I have is not a DNS issue.
So I changed the Apple TV to a manual address, and set the DNS server to my ISP's DNS server (Apple TV can only have one DNS server? Odd.)
After I save this, the Network page shows the correct manual IP, mask, and router, but the DNS Address is an IPv6 address (one that belongs to my network, but the entire address isn't visible), not the one I set. When I Configure TCP/IP again, and I reach the DNS Address page, the first digit of the existing address is "20", and the rest of the digits are "0". Interesting note as well: if I press Down, the number will increment to 19, and so on, but if I press Up, it changes to 0. Obviously the UI isn't designed for IPv6 addressing, but there's an IPv6 address in there nevertheless.
Screenshots:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/random_robin/5310011344/
http://www.flickr.com/photos/random_robin/5310016288/
I have tried to set the DNS Address multiple times now, and have restarted the Apple TV. The IPv6 DNS Address persists.

After 16 hours of working i don´t have seen this easy solution. I had tried with Internet Explorer and Opera but finaly i have need to use Firefox.
Thanks a lot to solve it.

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to set security group as admin of primary and secondary site collection using PowerShell command in office 365.
I suggest you can use the command below to set the group to site owner, then it will have the site collection admin permission.

Setting up to locally use address book and iCal. (DNS)

Can anyone offer any insight in how I must set up my DNS when all I want to do is share Address Book, iCal and file sharing? I have tried to type in what I thought were the correct settings at DNS set up only to consistently get errors on client machines when trying to use iCal or when simply typing in their user name and password in system preferences ---> login, and I tells me the user isn't authorized.
Some one told me to just have the server self-reference itself by having the IP address and the DNS server address the same at setup as well as the search domain and primary DNS the exact same name. I used example.private for both but each time it seems the to make the Primary a FQDN so I assume this isn't possible.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

In addition to what Austin mentions, note that Address Book supports plug-ins that can extend its power beyond what the "stock" version affords. You can find a fairly comprehensive list of available ones at Hawk Wings - Plug-ins for Apple Mail in the Address Book section.
Among my favorites is the Google Maps Plugin for Address Book by Brian Toth, which adds the power of Google maps & Google directions to Address Book.
Moreover, Address Book supports plug-ins written in AppleScript, which makes it possible to do just about anything through the AB interface if you know how to write scripts, or can modify existing ones. Along these lines, check out the dialModemOSAX.dmg package, which includes an AppleScript extension for dialing phone numbers with a dial-up modem & an example script you can add as an AB plug-in, so you can use the dialing feature with land-line phones as well as Bluetooth enabled ones. Other useful plug-in scripts can be found at Apple - Software - AppleScript - iCal.
