computer's name was “mycompany.com,” the first query sent would be for “pc21.mycompany.com.”
●The second query sent is based on the DNS suffix entered in DNS suffix for this connection (see below). So, if you entered “sales.mycompany.com” in that space, your computer would also attempt to resolve “pc21.sales.mycompany.com.” This query is only sent if a DNS suffix is entered in the space provided.
The local setting is used only if the associated group policy is disabled or unspecified.
Append parent suffixes of the primary DNS suffix
Selecting this check box specifies that your computer should also send queries based on the parent domains in your computer’s name (up to the second level domain). For example, if your computer is attempting to resolve the name “pc21” and its own name includes the domain named “us.sales.mycompany.com,” it would query for “pc21.mycompany.com” and “pc21.sales.mycompany.com” in addition to the standard query for “pc21.us.sales.mycompany.com.”
Append these DNS suffixes (in order)
Selecting this option specifies that when attempting to resolve unqualified DNS Names, your computer will formulate a query based on each of the domains listed in the box directly below this option. For example, if your computer is attempting to resolve the name “pc21” and the domains “sales.mycompany.com” and “mycompany.com” appear in the list, your computer will query for “pc21.sales.mycompany.com” and “pc21.mycompany.com.”
The local setting is used only if the associated group policy is disabled or unspecified.

Register this connection’s addresses in DNS
Selecting this check box specifies that the computer should attempt to dynamically register this connection’s IP Address (through DNS) using the full computer name specified on the Computer Name tab (available under System in the Windows Control Panel). The local setting is used only if the group policy is disabled or unspecified.
