I've this weird situation where ipconfig /all shows all dns-es for LAN connection correctly, however when I go to network properties of this LAN connection and check status it only shows 2 ip address (always not showing 127.0.0.1). 

 IPv4 Address. . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.16(Preferred)
 Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0
 Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.1
 DNS Servers . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.16
                                     127.0.0.1
                                     192.168.1.17
 Primary WINS Server . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.16
 Secondary WINS Server . . . . . . : 192.168.1.17
 NetBIOS over Tcpip. . . . . . . . : Enabled

If i then go to checking configuration (or doing any modifications) I can clearly see there settings are correct. This wouldn't be a big deal but BPA for DNS on this server is complaining that loopback address isn't added to DNS list and I want to clean it up from errors.

If the machine you're running the commands on is an Active Directory Domain Controller and/or DNS server, I believe it automatically hardcodes 127.0.0.1 (i.e., the local host) as a valid source for DNS information.
