DNS Dynamically Updating Issue |
|
|
Hi Everyone,
I am managing an Enterprise 2003 network with multiple domains. The issue I
am having is that when I build and incorporate a new server on the network it
gets assigned a DHCP address so that I can do the updates before bringing the
server into production.
Upon doing the updates and bringing the server off the network I then assign
it a static IP, the name of the server remains the same. Now the A record
created in DNS does not then change dynamically to the newly assigned IP, the
Server or workstation is configured to update automatically and I have even
used the Register DNS command, but still no change to the record on the DNS
server.
I end up having to manually change the A record at the server. Is there
something wrong here or is this normal? ANy assistance would be greatly
appreciated, Thanks in advance.
Tim. |

That's because DHCP owns the record. If it remained a DHCP client, DHCP can
update it. However, you can force it to work. Read this article, scroll down
