A quick one here, I needed to add dns suffix to some servers that were not in a domain. The servers were all in a WORKGROUP.
I was adding a dns entry to the dns server, so I could get rid of the legacy dependence on host files, which were a nightmare to manage.
So I needed a command that allowed me to do this, and I could then run remotely. The command is netdom, and does other things but below I show how to use it to change the primary dns suffix. The primary dns suffix can be manually changed in windows by going to
- Control Panel
- System
- “Change Settings” (under Computer Name section)
- “Change”
- “More”
Example:
- Servername: TestServer
- DNS Suffix: testsub.test
netdom computername TestServer /add:TestServer .testsub.test
netdom computername TestServer /makeprimary:TestServer .testsub.test
