Re: Workstation Causing DNS Problems

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Hi Myweb,

Thanks for the reply.

I don't think that article applies in this situation, we don't have a child
subdomain, and we're not having certificate publication issues. Its just
this one client that seems to be registering itself as a subdomain, even
though its not! I don't think this is a problem with the certificate
authority, permissions, or the DNS server, I think its more some
misconfiguration on the client itself!

Hi,

I've noticed several event 53 errors on our DNS server relating to
CertSvc
(below). Due to the error message ("DNS name does not exist") I looked
at
our DNS, and found that the workstation is creating its own folder!?
So we
now have:
Forward Lookup Zones
?domain.com
?_msdcs
?_sites
?_tcp
?_udp
?DomainDnsZones
?LAPTOP01 « Folder with workstation name, containing
its own
A record (LAPTOP01 192.168.0.50)
?ForestDnsZones
I tried deleting the folder, and rebooting the workstation, but every
time
it restarts, it recreates the folder & records in DNS.
I've checked over the workstation, initially the DNS Client service
was
disabled for some reason, so I enabled & started that. I found that
when I
went to 'My Computer' > 'Properties' > 'Computer Name' tab, the 'Full
computer name' was LAPTOP01.LAPTOP01.domain.com, so I went to 'Change'

'More' and the 'Primary DNS Suffix' was LAPTOP01.domain.com (No idea
why!),
so I changed the suffix to just domain.com and rebooted, however, the
moment
the workstation rebooted, it recreated the LAPTOP01 folder in DNS
again. I
tried deleting the folder, and running IPCONFIG /FLUSHDNS & IPCONFIG
/REGISTERDNS on the workstation, but again the folder is recreated!
What else can the problem be? I'm now stumped as to how to fix this
problem! I can't see anywhere else in TCP/IP properties, or 'My
Computer' where the DNS name is incorrect!
