At work, on all our XP boxes, in the Advanced TCP/IP dialog box, on the
DNS tab, we have the following ticked:

Append primary and connection specific DNS suffixes
Append parent suffixes of the primary DNS suffix

On all our XP boxes, when doing an 'ipconfig /all' the 'DNS Suffix
Search list' includes our DNS/AD domain name. Additionally, there is
another suffix, '.com.au'. How did this 2nd suffix get in there and how
do I get rid of it?

All XP boxes are DHCP-enabled and the DHCP server is NOT giving out
this suffix as part of the Scope Option (015 DNS Domain name)
