Some Printers not in DNS bshort1023[ at ]yahoo.com 5/24/2007 2:44:47 PM We have 20+ printers on the network (same subnet). Some show in DNS and some do not. I do not see any differences between the ones that show up and the ones that do not. Printers are installed on 3 different Windows 2003 Servers. Domain Controllers are Windows 2000. All of the printers are listed in AD. Driving me nuts. Thanks, bshort1023

Re: Some Printers not in DNS "Michael Dragone" <no.e-mail=less_spam> 5/24/2007 4:43:01 PM These are Active Directory-integrated DNS zones? Active Directory-integrated DNS zones will only register dynamic records from trusted clients ("secure dynamic updates"). Do some of your printers obtain their IP address via DHCP and some are configured with static IP addressing? <bshort1023[ at ]yahoo.com> wrote in message news:1180017887.152695.313830[ at ]q75g2000hsh.googlegroups.com...

Re: Some Printers not in DNS "Michael Dragone" <no.e-mail=less_spam> 5/25/2007 3:25:09 PM Is there any chance someone manually created a host record for those printers in DNS? You said you have 20+ printers - how many show up in DNS and how many don't? <bshort1023[ at ]yahoo.com> wrote in message news:1180103025.648891.151870[ at ]o5g2000hsb.googlegroups.com...

I don't know of any printers that can update a DNS zone that allows only secure updates. It because before anything can update the zone, it must authenticate first. If the Printers are statically assigned, you need to manually create the records, or change them to DHCP so the DHCP server, which can authenticate with AD, can update the Printer IPs. If you still wish to use static addressing, create a reservation in DHCP for the printer. Otherwise, you'll need to use manually created records, with the "Delete this record when it becomes stale" box cleared. -- Best regards, Kevin D.
