2003 server dns sufix search list group policy object

hello, i'm not being able make work. have dc cohowinery.com domain conditionally forwarding requests test1.local dc1.test1.local. conditional forwarding works flawlessly, problem here is, works when use fqdn test1.local domain. wanted add suffix every name doesn't exist in cohowinery.com, wanted via group policy , option there under administrative templates - network - dns.

 

i specified test1.local in dns search list that, quote, "when user submits query single-label name, such "example", local dns client attaches suffix, such "microsoft.com", resulting in query "example.microsoft.com", before sending query dns server."

 

it doesn't work ... specified suffix, applied domain policy, tried linking gpo dc ou, tried or without "" , gpupdated every time, still doesn't work.

every time try ping dc2 (a record existent in test1.local) no reply, unless dc2.test1.local

what doing wrong?

how did put there suffixes?

i.e.

mtdomain.local,testenv.local

and applied computer/domain controllers ou? if so, please reboot machine , check once again. dns suffix list should populated then

edit: after machine restarted, run in command-line

ipconfig /all

and review if under dns suffixes list section, appeared
