DNS Pat 11/12/2008 7:43:03 PM Hello, We are running AD intergrated DNS 2003 server and all the client computers are manualy configured to point to the DNS servers. We are in the process of refreshing some of the desktop computers (over 1000). We do not have scavenging enabled and the old records are not set to automaticaly delete. The problem is that the new machines come in and have a diffrent NetBios name but the same IP address. The System administrator said he does not enable scavenging because member servers disapear out of DNS when it's enabled. has anyone ever seen this before? Do you have any sugestions on how we can clean up DNS? Thanks in advance

Re: DNS Pat 11/12/2008 8:16:12 PM Do you know what Microsoft recommends it be set at?

Re: DNS "Phillip Windell" <philwindell[ at ]hotmail.com> 11/12/2008 8:28:49 PM You may want to consider DHCP for workstations. You really should not create a situtation where it actually matters what IP#s the workstaitons have. Only Servers, Utility machines, and networking devices should be static. Printers can be static or DHCP Reserved. If you want to know at any moment what IP and workstation has you can quickly look it up in the DHCP Service. -- Phillip Windell www.wandtv.com The views expressed, are my own and not those of my employer, or Microsoft, or anyone else associated with me, including my cats. ----------------------------------------------------- "Pat" <Pat[ at ]discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:C6E5270E-A07F-42C0-9D0E-BAFF787E9934[ at ]microsoft.com...

Re: DNS Pat 11/12/2008 8:54:07 PM Thanks for the quick response. unfortunatley DHCP is not an option in our enviorment all computers need static IPs "Phillip Windell" wrote: [Quoted Text] > You may want to consider DHCP for workstations.

Re: DNS Pat 11/12/2008 10:08:04 PM I noticed that on some of the member servers and Domain controllers that if I look at the record properties some are checked to delete this record when it becomes stale and some are not checked. Shouldn't all servers be set the same? and if so which one is it checked are non checked.
