RE: Multiple records showing up

Hi MTechG,

For records that are PCs that have been decommissioned, you need to enable
Aging and Scavenging to remove them. Changing the "Always dynamically update
DNS A and PTR records" option does not get rid of these out-dated records.

To enable the Aging and Scavenging, you need to enable "it" on 3 levels.
Enable it on record level, zone level and server level.

In our enviroment we have serveral offices that have dns/dhcp and are all

and
Dynamically update DNS A and PTR records only if requested by the DHCP client

What we having issues with is multple client records with the same ip
address. Some of the records are pc's that have been decommissioned others
are just turned off.

Would chaning this to Always dynamically update DNS A and PTR records help
any?
I don't like to just change things to try that is why I'm asking. Could I
be missing something else?

TIA
