Name Resolution in Windows March 28, 2017, 9:10 a.m.

When the GetHostByName API is used, the Windows 2000 resolver first submits the name query to DNS. If DNS name resolution fails, the resolver checks whether the name is longer than 15 bytes. If it is longer, resolution fails. If not, the resolver then checks whether NetBIOS is running. If it is not running, resolution fails. If it is running, the resolver then tries NetBIOS name resolution.

Group Policy Processing March 15, 2017, 11:46 a.m.

The local Group Policy object is always processed, followed by GPO. Site first, domain next, and OU last, including any nested OUs, from parent to child. The Block policy inheritance or No Override options can affect the presence or absence of Group Policy objects in the list of Group Policy objects to be processed, but cannot change their order. Computer policy is processed at startup and then user policy is processed when the user logs on. If user and computer policy settings specify different behavior, the computer policy will generally prevail.
