Thanks Ace.
It is a good read, like a whodunit.
In fact I still don't know whodunit.
Our clients (WinXP Pro SP2) are configured to Register IP address
with DNS, our DHCP servers are configured to register records with
DNS for clients which request this service.

But I can't work out whether the clients are contacting the DNS server
directly, or the DHCP server to request it to do so on their behalf.

I'd better read it again :-)
BTW tcpsvcs.exe memory is now well-behaved, growing at 20kbyte/day.

As for merit of hotfixes, sometimes even pukka updates that have been
compatibility -tested to death can apparently cause PDCs to stop
distributing time to NT5DS configured domain members - if we are to
believe what I have just read in this news group.

Thanks for info.

Newell White

It's in there. If the client asks, it will register, if not, it will not and
the client will do it directly. In most cases DHCP will reg the client, but
the client will reg the PTR. Read up on it again.

About NT5DS, are you saying domain members default time settings were
altered?

I usually go with hotfixes. But that's me. If a problem arises, I'll remove
it.
