Re: [LONG] 70-291 - DNS Dynamic Registration Problem

Well, since no reply has been posted at the time I'm writing, I would like
to simplify my question & try to troubleshoot this issue with your help ;)

First:

Scenario:
A machine is configured with "obtaining an IP address automatically" and an
alternate IP address in the 192.168.0.0 subnet (IP, S.M. and DNS).
Advanced configuration properties for DNS are at their defaults.
Another machine, the DNS server, is assigned the 192.168.0.1/24 static
address.
A.D. DC role has NOT been installed on the server yet but the 2 PCs have the
same DNS primary suffix.
In the DNS server properties I've allowed secure and non secure dynamic
updates for the zone the 2 PCs belong to.

First Troubleshooting Question:
Is it true that the DNS Client will be able to register and update its (A)
and PTR DNS records even when it is assigned the alternate address
configuration?

Please help me ;)

Thanks a lot to everybody!

Ciao
