Primary Domain Suffix - priority via GPO vs DHCP deployment option?

Will be checking this in the lab later this week but looking for opinions. Pertinent to my other post related to cert renewal issues..  

Exploring a work around where we would define laptop’s primary connection suffix via GPO. There are non-MS clients on the same networks so we have to continue to hand out the DNS / DDNS domain deployment options.

I’m wondering assuming we’re already configured in BC with those options and then do the same in GPO, which one wins / is persistent?

Thanks!

The domain that comes via DHCP becomes the Connection Specific DNS Suffix, so this should not compete against a Primary DNS Suffix being assigned by GPO.
