Using Win2k3 AD ourdomain.local (all MS servers and clients), I have

was eating RAM and disk.

Are you saying you disabled DNS Dynamic Updates? On your clients or in the
ourdomain.local zone properties?


My understanding is that all I have lost is the ability to join
clients with OS older than Windows 2000 to my domain.
Please tell me I'm not wrong on this!

Can you tell me exactly what you disabled and where you disabled it please?

Thank you,

In the DNS tab of 'Properties' of the DHCP server.
See http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/939928

I notice however that this box is now checked again on our two DHCP servers
- not by me.

I have not altered the settings on any client.
Any info to improve my mind will be gratefully received!

OK I guess that restarting DHCP service restored the default configuration
of Dynamic DNS, hence updates now enabled. My brain not at full speed 8a.m.
(UK time) on Monday morning!

So I will monitor memory usage of tcpsvcs.exe to see if MS have fixed this
bug, or to free up the memory as recommended in kb/939928 when required.
