I had the very same problem.  It was affecting my scripts because I wasn't connecting 
to the machines I thought I was. 

* You need to enable DNS scavenging.  Don't set anything below 48 hours.
* If you are using DHCP, add your DHCP servers to the DnsUpdateProxy group.

Subject: [ActiveDir] DNS Inconsistency


Hi Guys,

I am having a major problem in my organization over here. I have set up active 
directory for about 800 users and about 500 workstations. But for some reasons or the 
other my DNS seems to be misbehaving.
When I ping a host I get a reply from a particular IP address, but when I do a ping -a 
of the same IP address I get an entirely different host. For some reason or the other 
the record I have in my forward lookup zones and my reverse lookup zones are not 
synchronized.
Is there any way I can resolve this inconsistency because it gets worse and worse 
everyday. Is there any tool I can use to correct this.

Thanks
Seyi
