Hello @Stephen Lillioja ,

Greetings,

Welcome to the Microsoft Q&A Platform. Thank you for reaching out & I hope you are doing well.

DNS Suffixes are used to create fully qualified domain names (FQDNs) for resources within an Azure virtual network. This allows you to easily reference and manage these resources using DNS queries.

Finding Your Existing DNS Suffix

If you're using Azure's default DNS resolution, the suffix is typically internal.cloudapp.net. You can verify this by using the following methods:

1. Using the hostname command:

• Connect to your VM via SSH or RDP.
• Run the hostname command. The output will include the DNS suffix.

2. Using the ipconfig /all command (Windows):

• Open a command prompt.
• Run ipconfig /all. Look for the "DNS Suffix Search List" entry.
