How do I perform a LLMNR query?

I wish to perform a LLMNR query explicitly. My current environment includes DNS servers so the ping (ping -a specifically) is doing DNS queries to resolve the name. I can disable my DNS in my network configuration, but that isn't an ideal solution.

How do I perform a LLMNR query?

Solution 1:

Assuming PowerShell is available, use Resolve-DnsName -LlmnrOnly -Name <host>

From the linked TechNet page:

-LlmnrOnly
Resolves this query using only the LLMNR protocol.

Solution 2:

Can you remove the appended DNS Suffix from your local config?

• Go to your ethernet connection.
• Click Properties.
• Double click Internet Protocol Version 4(TCP/IPv4)
• Click Advanced.
• Click the DNS tab. Remove whatever the suffix is.
