Greetings,
Does anyone have suggestions for my problem? I want to use SMS (I
posted in those groups as well) but I need to have my clients register
via the DC DNS tables. If I enter the IP of the DCs in the DNS tables
and assign the machines static IPs it works great. However, if I
assign DHCP for the IP and set the DNS to the DC IPs it doesn't work
(just won't register in the DNS).
Now for the pickle. if I do an ipconfig when it's set to DHCP and get
the IP at that time I can enter that as a static IP. Guess what, it
registers! So, no matter the IP, as long as I hard code it into the
client it registers via DNS tables on the DC.
Lastly, I work at an educational institution and they want us to use
DHCP so setting a static IP is out of the question. Anyone have any
ideas? What do I need to ask (if anything) to the people running my
school's DHCP servers?
Is the DHCP server on a Windows Server 2003?
Have you assigned the credentials of a user in the DHCP console for the DHCP
server to use in DNS registration?
Does the ipconfiguration of the DHCP server have the DNS servers' IPs that
contain the zone that needs to be registered in? This account makes it
possible for the DHCP server to make updates in a secure zone. Do not use
the DNSUpdateProxy group, this group cannot make updates in a zone that
accepts only secure updates.
