## Disjoint namespace
116+
117+
A disjoint namespace occurs when the primary DNS suffix of one or more domain member computers doesn't match the DNS name of their Active Directory domain. For example, if a computer has a DNS name of corp.contoso.com but is part of an Active Directory domain called na.corp.contoso.com, it's using a disjoint namespace.
118+
119+
Before deploying Azure Stack HCI version 23H2, you must:
120+
121+
- Append the DNS suffix to the management adapter of every node.
122+
- Verify you can resolve the hostname to the FQDN of the Active Directory.
123+
124+
### Example - append the DNS suffix
125+
126+
To append the DNS suffix, run the following command:
127+
128+
```powershell
129+
Set-DnsClient -InterfaceIndex 12 -ConnectionSpecificSuffix "na.corp.contoso.com"
130+
```
131+
132+
### Example - resolve the hostname to the FQDN
133+
134+
To resolve the hostname to the FQDN, run the following command:
135+
136+
```powershell
137+
nslookup node1.na.corp.contoso.com
138+
```
139+
140+
> [!NOTE]
141+
> You cannot use group policies to configure the DNS suffix list with Azure Stack HCI, version 23H2.
