Win 2000 DNS server with NO AD currently…still NT 4 PDC/BDC…
What issues will prevent clients from regiering dynamically with DNS? Seems the checkbox “Register this connection’s address in DNS” AND “use this connections DNS suffix in registration” , under TCP/IP properties MUST be checked fro this to happen (along of course with DHCP updating the DNS server, and allowing updates dynamically with the DNS server)…all that is set up, and SOME of the cliesnt actually update correctly. Seems those checkboxes are not checked on a vanilla installation. DOes that mean the DHCP server is somehow NOT snednig that info in the DHCP ack?
Also,
should the rverse dns zone get any of this information? I have a unique situation where Unix servers will need to use the reverse DNS to find hosts (Unix DB going back to a Winhost)…
Looked alot but can;t find much on this specific question.
What kind of screw up can I have here, and should check for to see why..
1. DDNS does NOT update ALL of my DHCP clients in the primary zone..(some not all)
2. Why do I not see nay PTR records in the Reverse zone (I can of course do static entries, and will have to of course for the Unix boxes, unless someone has a trick to DDNS them too…they are NOT DHCP of course)
Does reverse DNS alo receive DDNS, and should I be seeing any kind of activity like this>?
Would be nice to have this happen with the Win servers, and clients that ARE DHCP.
Thanks!!
