Specifies that NetBIOS over TCP/IP (NetBT) queries are issued for fully qualified domain names.
If you enable this policy setting, NetBT queries will be issued for multi-label and fully qualified domain names such as 'www.example.com' in addition to single-label names.
If you disable this policy setting, or if you do not configure this policy setting, NetBT queries will only be issued for single-label names such as 'example' and not for multi-label and fully qualified domain names.
Fix:
(1) GPO: Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Network\DNS Client!Allow NetBT queries for fully qualified domain names
(2) REG: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows NT\DNSClient!QueryNetBTFQDN
