If you stop the Client from appending the domain name, you will no longer be
able to resolve NetBIOS names with DNS. What you need to do is stop the
client from appending the parent suffixes. You can do this by clearing the
box, "Append parent suffixes of the Primary DNS suffix" or by creating a
custom DNS suffix search list that contains only the local domain suffix.
Both of these can be achieved in Group Policies located here:

-Administrative templates
