DNS Suffix Change

I was wondering if anybody knows an easy way to change the DNS suffix on computers without physically going to everyone and doing it. If you go to My Computer and Right Click and select properties. Then select the computer name tab and click change you will notice a button Labled "More" I need to change the suffix there and I need to do it on 100's of computers. If there is a registry setting or something I can deploy a registry file. I tried looking in my Ghost Console to see if that option was there and if I could do it there, but I cannot. I checked the registry and did not find anything. Any help would be appreciated.

HKLM\system\currentcontrolset\services\tcpip\param eters\interfaces\{interface_id}\domain
Problem is that you have to know the interface_id.

I found the registry setting after poking around on google and in regedit and made a vbs script that I could run remotely. Thanks for the reply CeeBee.
