DnsDomainName: A string that indicates the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the server's domain.

DnsForestName: A string that indicates the FQDN of the server's forest. The DnsForestName is NULL on machines that are not domain joined.

DnsMachineName: A string that indicates the FQDN of the server.

NbDomainName: A string that indicates the NetBIOS name of the server's domain.

NbMachineName: A string that indicates the NetBIOS machine name of the server.

The following NTLM server configuration variables are internal to the client and impact all authenticated sessions:

ServerBlock: A Boolean setting that disables the server from generating challenges and responding to NEGOTIATE_MESSAGE messages.<59>
