Host (A) Records do not appear Wanda Torres 5/20/2007 11:58:01 PM Hello, I have a Windows Server 2003 Server installed, AD, DNS, and DHCP Server. The clients are logging in perfect, howerver the only Host (A) records that appears in my Forward Lookup Zone is the server and 1 other domain controller. The cleints are not appearing under the Forward Lookup Zones, but the pointer records are appearing in the Reverse Lookup Zones. DHCP has Wins 44/46 and 06/DNS set. What could be my problem. -- Wanda Torres

If you want the clients registered in DNS, you need to configure the clients or the DHCP server to register the clients. For a client to register itself, in the client's TCP/IP properties, on the DNS tab, "Register this connection's addresses must be checked, and the client's Primary DNS suffix must be the zone you want the client registered in. The other check box on that tab, "Use this connection's DNS suffix in DNS registrations" requires you to enter a DNS suffix, or have DHCP option 015 enabled with the suffix. You can also have the DHCP server register for the clients. For the DHCP server to do all DNS registrations, clear the check boxes previously mentioned in TCP/IP properties on the clients, then configure these in DHCP, option 015 with the domain name, then on the DNS tab of the DHCP server properties sheet, Enable DNS dynamic updates according to the settings below, always dynamically update DNS A and PTR record, discard A and PTR records when lease is deleted, Dynamically update DNS A and PTR records for DHCP clients that do not request updates. Then on the Advanced tab, enter the credentials for a dedicated user account with a non-expiring password. the non-expiring password is optional, but it prevents you from having to change the password on the account and re-entering the password on all DHCP servers. -- Best regards, Kevin D.
