DNSDomain (Standard 8 Module Reference)
7/8/2014
Review the applicable Embedded Core modules and any examples for the DNSDomain setting in Windows Embedded 8 Standard (Standard 8).
This setting contains a string with a maximum length of 255 characters that specifies the Domain Name System (DNS) domain in which to search for during name resolution.
The DNS client uses the DNS suffix for registrations and to assist with resolution if no DNSSuffixSearchOrder is configured. Do not create an empty value for this setting.
Depending on which module you use this setting in, this setting applies to a specific interface or to all interfaces. If DNSDomain is specified in two places—as a global parameter (x) in one and as an interface-specific parameter (y) in another— the two values are concatenated appropriately (as x, y) and used.
