Script is below. Exact steps are ran the script, confirmed that the new
settings were showing in the GUI for network interfaces, but when testing
found that the new suffix search order list was not active. Checked and
found that a GPO was also setting the search order and that setting was
taking effect and was shown in the registry and in ipconfig but not in the
network interface configuration GUI.
'Runs on a local machine as part of the imaging process to disable DNS
auto-registration for interfaces with
'a 192.168.x.x address. Also checks for interfaces in the 10.8.3 and 10.8.7
subnets and if found, assigns the primary
'and secondar DNS servers in the IP configuration . The DNS suffix search
order is set for all adapters.

I'm not a script master but can you post here ythe script and describe the
exact steps that you did?

Correct, the information show via ipconfig and populate via GPO is in the
registry. However, what is shown in the GUI and populated in WMI is not
located in the registry.

Hi
As far as I know that info isregistered in:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\Tcpip\Parameters\SearchList

Ran into an issue where writing a WMI script to change the DNS server
list and DNS suffix search order on a given interface runs successfully
and the results are shown in the Local Area Network Configuration GUI
for a given interface. However, there was a GPO that was setting the
DNS servers and DNS suffix search order as well and this setting was
shown in ipconfig and the registry (and utlimately was the setting that
was taking effect). So my question is: where does WMI write DNS server
and suffix search order information to and where does the Local Area
Network Configuration GUI pull information from since the registry
value was not changed by the WMI script?
