Add DNS suffix (primary) to hostname

Enables or disables appending a DNS suffix to a bare hostname (one without a dot) before it is resolved. This applies to all tools that resolve hostnames through NETworkManager's DNS resolver (e.g. Ping, Traceroute, Port Scanner, IP Scanner, SNTP Lookup). Fully-qualified hostnames and reverse (PTR) lookups are not affected. If disabled, hostnames are resolved as entered. If enabled, either the primary DNS suffix configured in Windows or the custom DNS suffix is appended. If no primary DNS suffix is configured (e.g. the computer is not domain-joined), the connection-specific DNS suffix of the active network adapter is used instead.

Type: Boolean

Default: Enabled
