Explanation:
When any computer or a standalone server is added to a domain as a member, the network identifies that computer with its Fully Qualified Domain Name or FQDN. A Fully Qualified Domain Name consist of a hostname and the DNs suffix separated by a “. ” called period. An example for this can be server01. msftdomain.com where “server01 is the hostname of the computer and “msftdomain.com” is the DNS suffix which follows the hostname. A complete FQDN of a client computer or a member server uniquely identifies that computer in the entire domain.
Primary DNS suffix must manually be added in Windows 8 computer to change its hostname to Fully Qualified Domain Name so that it becomes eligible to send queries and receive responses from the DNS server. Following are the steps which can be implemented to add primary DNS suffix to a Windows 8 computer hostname:
Log on to Windows 8 computer with administrator account.
From the options available on the screen click Control Panel.
On System Properties box make sure that Computer Name tab is selected and click Change button.
On View basic information about your computer window click Change settings under Computer name, domain, and workgroup settings section.
On the next window click System and Security category and on the appeared window click System.
On the opened window click More Settings from the left pane.
On Computer Name/Domain Changes box click More button.
On DNS Suffix and NetBIOS Computer Name box type in the DNS domain name as the DNS suffix to the Windows 8 computer under Primary DNS suffix of this computer field.
Click Ok button on all the boxes and restart the computer to allow changes to take effect.
For years, Windows DNS has supported dynamic updates, whereas a DNS client host registers and dynamically updates the resource records with a DNS server. If a host’s IP address changes, the resource record (particularly the A record) for the host is automatically updated, while the host utilizes the DHCP server to dynamically update its Pointer (PTR) resource record. Therefore, when a user or service needs to contact a client PC, it can look up the IP address of the host. With larger organizations, this becomes an essential feature, especially for clients that frequently move or change locations and use DHCP to automatically obtain an IP address. For dynamic DNS updates to succeed, the zone must be configured to accept dynamic updates:
