Re: XP clients not updating DNS via DHCP

Kevin,
I should have mentioned that each of these server is in it's own
subnet, providing DHCP services for thier respective subnet. To
answer your question, the forward zone and the reverse zones are not
being updated. on my HS_SVR1 box (Win2k and previous DC that was
demoted), there is no security option. I have added it to the
authorized dhcp list. any other suggestions?

Could you clear up some confusion for me?
Is HS_SVR1 a DNS server?
If it is a demoted DC, it cannot have AD integrated zones and therefore no
security tab and no security on its zones. If it has the zone, is it a
secondary zone?
If it is a secondary zone it can only send updates to the master using the
MNAME record and it does not have permission to make the update.
If it is a DHCP server, even if it is Authorized as a DHCP server. DHCP
Authorization only authorizes it to assign addresses in the domain, and does
not give it permission to update DNS.

This is why Win2k3 added the feature for DHCP to authenticate its
permissions to update DNS. Win2k used the DNSUpdateProxy group for this.

I would still recommend DHCP be moved to Win2k3 so it can be configured to
authenticate with DNS.
