SBS 2008 add DNS suffix to VPN clients

Dear experts,

I have SBS2008 box with VPN configured by the SBS wizard. If some non domain computer connects to VPN, he cannot ping hostname. IP and FQDN works fine.

I do not want to use hosts file, WINS. I know there is a simple solution on a server side, but I cannot find it

You have to set your dhcp server to hand out dhcp option 115 for single searc DNs suffix or option 119 for multiple search DNs suffixes. Check link below;

Sorry lruiz52,

it seems the link is not for SBS 2008, but communication server 2007 or server 2003.
In my DHCP server option is no 119 at all.

I think I need to configure routing and remote access to assign a DNS suffix, but I cannot find where is it.

It is not configured in RRAS. It is configured in one of two places:

1) If your RRAS is configured to use a DHCP Relay Agent and assign IPs to the clients automatically, then look in your DHCP Server settings, under Scope Options, add Option 015 and specify the domain name

2) Otherwise, the the DNS suffix settings of your primary network adapter is passed along (Network Connections->Local Area Connection->Properties->Advanced->DNS tab->DNS Suffix
Hello Frosty555,
I already have DHCP option 15 configured (FQDN), as well as DNS suffix in advanced properties of nw adapetr.
When some non domain member computer tries to ping hostname, it works. Problem is only through VPN.

no, after connecting to VPN there is no connection specific DNS suffix on PPP adapter..

I cannot find "Also, in RRAS, under YOURSERVER->IPv4->DHCP Relay Agent, have you added your primary network interface to the list?" but it sounds interesting. Where exactly it should be?
