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

Kevin D. Goodknecht Sr. [MVP] <admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>, posted the following:

Look at the lease in DHCP, in the Name column, does it have the Fully
Qualified Domain Name of the computer?
If it is not the FQDN only the PTR can be registered, and you should
check that your DNS registration settings in TCP/IP properties on the
DNS tab are set as per the following.
On the DNS tab in TCP/IP properties, clear the "Register this
connection's addresses in DNS" and "Use this connection's DNS suffix
in DNS registration" check boxes, the DHCP Server will fill these in
for you and register using the domain name in Option 015.

Nice catch, Kevin! The client is probably configured with either no suffix or a different suffix than the zone in DNS.
