Thanks for your suggestion Mark, however that does not solve the problem. I
think the data is cached somewhere, becuase with a /ZoneWriteback you can
actually see that the record is deleted from the DNS file. Still the remote
machines keep resolving the name to the deleted ip address

What I am trying to accomplish is to be able to connect to our customers
remotely, but since their ip addresses change all the time we have written a
script which checks their ip address and if it is different we want it to be
written to our DNS server, so that we can always access their machines. I
think the "dnscmd" tool should be the best tool for this, but would a WMI
scipt be any different?
