I may have this figured out - for my case anyway. The new ADMX templates include 2 new settings related to DNS. I tried the one and that didnt' work, so I tried the other and now I'm always getting DNS. The setting in group policy editor;
| Turn off default IPv6 DNS Servers | HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows NT\DNSClient!DisableIPv6DefaultDnsServers | At least Windows Server 2012 Windows 8 or Windows RT | If you enable this policy the DNS client will not use the default IPv6 DNS server addresses provided by Windows. |
|---|
I enabled this setting to effectively turn off the default IPV6 DNS addresses. WHY??? WHY???? WHY? is this even a thing? And why does it need to be turned off? This should be one of those settings that the unconfigured option should have the default provided dns addresses disabled. OY, Microsoft!
