How do I perform a LLMNR query?

Question

I wish to perform a LLMNR query explicitly. My current environment includes DNS servers so the ping (ping -a specifically) is doing DNS queries to resolve the name. I can disable my DNS in my network configuration, but that isn't an ideal solution.

Assuming PowerShell is available, use Resolve-DnsName -LlmnrOnly -Name <host>

From the linked TechNet page:

-LlmnrOnly
Resolves this query using only the LLMNR protocol.

Can you remove the appended DNS Suffix from your local config?

Go to your ethernet connection.
Click Properties.
Double click Internet Protocol Version 4(TCP/IPv4)
Click Advanced.
Click the DNS tab. Remove whatever the suffix is.
