Use this connections DNS sufixes in DNS registration?

Question

_{Wednesday, June 13, 2012 4:30 PM}

I'm studying for the test infrastructure.

 I have some doubts and would like to help:

 In a domain environment (contoso.local), and a DHCP server on the network so that the  option

 Use this connections DNS sufixes in DNS registration?

 In the training kit says to a client update dns on the DNS server, it must be with this option enabled, moreover to use the command register / dns in a command prompt this option must also be enabled.

 Here the environment in the company mentioned above never use this option, and customers always updated correctly on the DNS server

 So how is this option?

Right, forgot about that one, it is disabled by default.  This is only necessary if you are connecting to a different child domain , for example your home domain is A.domain.com but you travel to a site which is B.domain.com.  If you enable this setting, it will register in the parent zone and in the child zone.  If your computer is connected to the domain it is joined to, then you do not need the Use this connection's DNS suffix in DNS registration option, you only need the Register this connection's addresses in DNS option.

Here is a description of the process what that the registration does when these options are checked,

The option cited 'Register this connection's addresses in DNS' is enabled by default and will need to be manually disabled or disabled via script or GPO.  The command ipconfig /registerdns is the command to manually register the computers name/ip to DNS, but this actually happens automatically at boot time, so it is not really necessary to issue that command unless you are troubleshooting or are trying to force an entry or the DNS record was tombstoned/purged due to its TTL and you want to re-register the computer without rebooting.

The option which I refer and
"Use this connections DNS sufixes in DNS registration '
and not

'Register this connection's addresses in DNS'

There are two options and to which I refer and

"Use this connections DNS sufixes in DNS registration '

things are different
