Just for me to understand more, when I run ipconfig /all on my work laptop, at the beginning of the information I see 3 parameters: Host Name, Primary DNS Suffix and DNS Suffix Search List.

I know the first one is the hostname of my laptop and I know the second one is the name of the domain that my laptop is bound too.

I do not understand the third one: DNS Suffix Search List

Let me give you an example:

Host Name: MyLaptopPC

Primary DNS Suffix: network.ad.companyA.com

DNS Suffix Search List:

network.ad.companyA.com

ad.companyA.com

ad.companyB.com

companyB.com

If you query a single label name, Windows appends the DNS suffixes and queries each fully-qualified name in order.
