Hi,
We have a windows 2000 domain, 2 DC's in one office and 5 more DC's in
outer offices. same domain.
We run DNS on the DC's, and we have DHCP servers that are set to
update DNS.
What I am seeing is that we now have over 2500 entries in our DNS for
machines, but we have NOWHERE NEAR 2500 machines. It looks like when a
PC is removed from AD or renamed or moved to a different vlan, the
entry stays in DNS. See below:
GX270-XP Host (A) 192.168.24.55
horochiwsky-ph Host (A) 192.168.24.55
mcafeewil-ph Host (A) 192.168.24.55
grp1776a Host (A) 192.168.24.56
reevemA-4ph Host (A) 192.168.24.56
KrasnyM-PH Host (A) 192.168.24.57
mrv9051nnnnnnnn Host (A) 192.168.24.57
mrv9051xp Host (A) 192.168.24.57
crawfordj-4ph Host (A) 192.168.24.58
FrenchSJ-PH Host (A) 192.168.24.58
CarulliE-PH Host (A) 192.168.24.59
gwa9064gwa9064n Host (A) 192.168.24.59
KSK1853 Host (A) 192.168.24.59
mrv9051e Host (A) 192.168.24.59
mrv9051ekk Host (A) 192.168.24.59
mrv9051exx Host (A) 192.168.24.59
SplaverS-PH Host (A) 192.168.24.59

This is causing all kinds of problems with our DNS.
Any ideas? (I was assuming with DDNS that when a pc joined the domain
it was automatically added to dns, and when it was removed or
replaced, the entry was deleted)
Thanks!
