Re: Reference to old DNS servers

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Thanks for the response- Can you point me in the direction of some good
instructions on how to do that? I'm not confident enough to do this on the
company domain without instructions..

Hello-

a couple of weeks ago my boss demoted an old DC that at one time was the
PDC. It is a Win 2k server previously running DHCP, DNS, and WINS. Since the
demotion, people have been complaining that certain programs are running
slower, it is taking longer to log on to the network, etc. When I run
ipconfig /all on the computers having problems, i see the 2 old DNS server
entries. I remove the computer from the domain, run NBTSTAT -R to purge the
remote cache name table, delete the computer entry from AD, assign a static
ip, rejoin the domain, (not always successfully on the first try) run the
Network ID, and go back to dynamic ip. This works for a while, then the DNS
entries return.

Does anyone have a clue? Because I DEFINITELY DON'T! :)
