It worked fine before … therefor it must be /“improved”/

I wonder why the option is still there in the normal settings, but isn't
actually looked at by default. Must be more "intuitive" that way ;)

Yes, its under TCP/IP Advanced. DNS . “Append these suffixes”
It’s being ignored on my computer.
Worse, the suffix that shows up in IPCONFIG / all is one of the
desired suffixes, but is ignored also

That’s correct. I also googled hosts file dns suffix and nothing.
I am sure there is a registry setting or a group policy or something
causing it to get ignored. It does it on both by home computer (a
workgroup) and my office computers (domain)
When I find out, I’ll let everyone know as its very helpful

On Windows you used to open the Hosts file and enter the ‘alias’
name you wanted and what it pointed to and it would work.
Not sure if that still works, or if you need something more in
Windows 10.

I agree it should be trivial. In our case, we have a domain name
where ALL internal equipment has a DNS forward have A records for
(and in most cases reverses), and we prefix that domain name with a
zone for each tower. So, it would be
router.towername.ourdomain.com
<http://router.towername.ourdomain.com>,
sitemon.towername.ourdomain.com
<http://sitemon.towername.ourdomain.com> etc. Used to be able to
add ourdomain.com <http://ourdomain.com> to the DNS Suffix and just
be able to refer to the piece of gear as router.towername and the
rest would get internally applied. It stopped functioning with Win
10, even though it has the same setup.

More like you telnet to "foo" and the computer fills in foo.bar.net
<http://foo.bar.net>. I understand how it could be convenient, but
I've never really relied on it.
I do not know the answer to the question. It was definitely a
trivial feature in older Windows versions, so I'm surprised it isn't
trivial still.

I may be showing my ignorance, but what is a DNS suffix? I
assume you don’t mean tld, like .com or .net.
Is this a feature where if you don’t enter a domain name, it
fills in a default? Like if your domain is foo.bar and you
address an email to just paul, it assumes you mean p...@foo.bar
<mailto:p...@foo.bar>?

Anybody know the magic secret of how to make DNS suffixes
actually work in Windows 10.
Mine stopped working when I upgrade to Windows 10 a couple years
ago, and I never got around to figuring it out. Under TCP/IPv4,
advanced, DNS, Append these….. it seems to ignore it. On my
home computer (workgroup) I have it defined and it lists the
primary suffix in ipconfig /all. On my office domain, I have 2
suffixes defined, one shows up in ipconfig, yet doesn’t not work.
Googled a bit, no success. PIA
