2K Clients not updating DNS dynamically

by dgemcse . Updated 21 years, 5 months ago

2K server, with DHCP and DNS on same machine.

Defualt settings on 2K client should enable DHCP to update the DNS with FQDN. I have looked all over MS and elsewhere. For some weird reason, some of the clients update DNS and some don’t. ALL clients are on same net, no FW or routers seperating them.
Clients are using defualt settings of “append primary and connection specific” and “register this connections address in DNS”. Server is set to accept dynamic, and like I said, some clients update, while some don’t.
Only workaround I have found is enabling “use this connections DNS suffic in registraton”, BUT not all clients have this set.
Any suggestions?
As I mentioned, ALL clients recive DHCP without issue, and SOME register with just NB name, and some register FQDN…I have tested this with adding appending domain name to NB, but that is not practical.
I want to be able to have ALL clients receive DHCP address and domain info, then regiter this with DNS…currently using what I have working in DNS, and WINS (long story, but I can’t fully move to DNS until i can figure out why this happens). Is there no way this can happen dynamically.?.?..(I know the answer to that one!)

Thanks!!
