RE: [ActiveDir] DNS Inconsistency

So what if your DHCP is running on a DC? Should I move them into the group or not. If not what problems could this cause. I also use a RIS to do my 2000 and XP installs. This machine is not a DC. Should I put the RIS into the group? Thanks,jb -Original Message- From: Todd Povilaitis

You don't have scavenging set up for your reverse DNS zones. Set the scavenging up (I think its called Delete Stale Records) to match your DHCP lease duration. -- Roger D. Seielstad - MCSE Sr. Systems Administrator Inovis - Formerly Harbinger

Your second statement, about the DNS proxy group, is only true for supporting downlevel clients. In addition, it opens up some new and interesting security issues, because now your DHCP servers can injecy ANY record they want into DNS, including bogus DC and GC records.

Which isn't strictly necessary, unless you plan on disabling all client based updates. Personally, we don't use that setting here, with a mix of Win9x on through XP and have no issues with the DNS updates happening correctly. -- Roger D.

Is this also true where only secure updates are allowed for the server or zone? One of the immediate effects of allowing only secure updates (in addition to scavenging) was the removal of all non-member (9x, NT) machine's A records from the zone. This is what we wanted. -Original

Hi Cliff, There are two pros that I am aware of... 1. In the case of radical naming hierarchy surgery, e.g., acquisition of another company, it provides a convenient place to merge in the new domains. 2. Enhanced security for the Enterprise Admins and Schema Admins groups is often claimed, but

In my opinion, the benefit to going with a dedicated forest root is recoverability. You will have a domain that you are doing most of your management. All of your user accounts, groups, computers and everything will be in that domain. If something goes wrong, you don't have to worry about blowing
