Data type Range Default value
REG_SZ Domain name (There is no default value for this entry. The value is configured by DHCP.)

Description

Specifies the Domain Name System (DNS) domain name of the interface, as provided by DHCP.

The DNS domain name is determined by three entries, DhcpDomain, which is configured by DHCP, and by Domain, which you can configure.

If these entries contain valid values, the user-configured value, Domain, takes precedence over the value of DhcpDomain.
