Re: dynamic DNS not working.

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Hello all,

Thanks for your ideas, but there doesn't seem to be any change. I am (and
have been) using option 15 with the full Domain name. These are 2003 servers
and before I wasn't using an account but have since created an account, set
that account in the credentials option for the DHCP server and given that
user full control on the DNS servers with no change.

One thing we have noticed is that we can get it to work if we edit the
"Primary DNS suffix of this computer" option under Computer Name Change in
the system control panel. If the DNS reg. is supposed to be controlled by
the DHCP and removed from the client, this doesn't make any since. Is this
option available in the DHCP server?

As a note:
Both Domain controlers are using eachother for DNS resolution.
The DNS tab on the Scope entry in DHCP lists "Always dynamically update DNS
A and PTR records." as well as "Discard A and PTR records when lease is
deleted" and "Dynamically update DNS A and PTR records for DHCP clients that
do not request updates..."

There has to be something I'm missing I just can't find any documentation on
it.
