The built-in DNS client must be disabled.
Description
Discussion Text
This setting controls whether to use the built-in DNS client.
This does not affect which DNS servers are used; it only controls the software stack that is used to communicate with them. For example, if the operating system is configured to use an enterprise DNS server, that same server would be used by the built-in DNS client. However, it is however possible that the built-in DNS client will address servers in different ways by using more modern DNS-related protocols such as DNS-over-TLS.
If this policy is enabled, the built-in DNS client is used if it is available.
If this policy is disabled, the client is never used.
