In news:u5$KG2ThGHA.1792@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx,
W C Hull <substitute1stInitial2ndInitialLastName51@xxxxxxxxxxxx> stated,
which I commented on below:
We are trying to identify a problem with registration of PTR records
involving some non-Windows based DHCP clients on a Windows 2003 and
was wondering if anyone can shed some light on the issue?
Currently we are upgrading our domain controllers running DHCP and
DNS from Windows 2000 to 2003 and our production environment is
still Windows 2000 while our test environment is Windows 2003. In
each environment we have a large number of non-windows based devices
that acquire their IP addresses from DHCP. We have DNS in both
environments set to accept secure and non-secure updates and we have
DHCP set to register Host and PTR records for clients that cannot
register themselves. Bottom line is that DHCP and DNS are configured
exactly the same in Windows 2000 as they are in Windows 2003 yet we
have a difference.
On the production side (Wndows 2000) all of these non-windows based
clients have their host and PTR records registering but on the test
side (Windows 2003) only the Host records are registering. We have
confirmed that we have the reverse zone setup on the test side and
we have confirmed that we can manually add PTR records to that zone. We
have also confirmed that we can change the settings in DHCP to say
"ALWAYS register Host and PTR records on behalf of the client" and
yet we cannot get any PTR records to register. Note also that in DHCP
the check box for legacy (WinNT) registrations is checked in both the
production and test environments.
So, In summary we have DNS and DHCP setup with identical settings and
we have identical non-windows based
devices that will only register both the Host and PTR records in
Windows 2000. Under Windows 2003 it doesn't seem to matter what
settings we have configured in DHCP, only the Host records will
register in DNS.
Any insight into this matter would be greatly appreciated.
We'll need some more info. Please post:
1. The IP Subnet being used in your test environment
2. The exact spelling of the reverse zone
3. If updates are set to allow in the reverse zone
