Hi,

A DNS suffix is the DNS name without the hostname part.

We know that any computer that joined an active directory domain will receive an additional part to the name which will compose the actually FQDN of the computer, like for example comp1.compinfopro.com. At the same time, this computer also receives the domain name as a primary DNS suffix.

You could configure the primary DNS suffix for a client computer as the following guide:

In addition, we could run command “ipconfig /all” to check the primary DNS suffix.

Thank you for your support and understanding.

Best Regards ,
