We have a single AD-DC and all our users get their IP's from a non Windows
DHCP server as it's grandfathered here. So on this AD-DC we don't run DHCP
and so because of that the DNS server isn't being update dynamically. So my
problem is today I went to test nslookup and I receive the following error.

C:\>nslookup
*** Can't find server name for address 10.0.22.250: Non-existent domain
Default Server: UnKnown
Address: 10.0.22.250

Does this happen because this Windows box is not running DHCP with dyn-dns
updates?

Thanks,

That looks like an error with your DNS setting in tcp/ip properties. Here is
a shot of mine (working). I then changed my dns server to an IP that I know
is not running dns.

F:\>nslookup
Default Server: pos-dns1.posic.com
Address: 10.240.0.240

Quote:
microsoft.com
Server: pos-dns1.posic.com

Address: 10.240.0.240

Non-authoritative answer:
Name: microsoft.com
Addresses: 207.46.250.119, 207.46.130.108

Quote:
exit
**Changed DNS server to known bad***


F:\>nslookup
DNS request timed out.
timeout was 2 seconds.
*** Can't find server name for address 10.10.0.240: Timed out
*** Default servers are not available
Default Server: UnKnown
Address: 10.10.0.240

Depending on what you are running for DHCP, some open source flavors do
support dynamic updates. We use Linux for DHCP and it does dynamic updates
just fine.

Hi Devin,

Error that you see is because you don't have reverse DNS zones configured or
because there is no PTR record for 10.0.22.250.

DHCP is not a requirement for dynamic updates in DNS. Some clients (e.g.
Windows 2000, Windows XP, ...) can register themselves in DNS without DHCP
service...
