How to
configure the primary DNS suffix
The Primary DNS suffix specify the
DNS suffix to be appended to the name of a computer when completing its
fully qualified domain name (FQDN). If you don’t have correct primary
DNS suffix, you may experience some name resolution issue. For example, you
may have difficult to join a domain. In other case, you may not be able to
use the FQDN.
To configure the primary DNS
suffix for a computer, follow these stpes.

After applying these changes, you must
restart the computer to initialize it with its new DNS domain name. |

If the computer has been previously
installed and configured as a DNS server, verify that zone authority
records are updated.
