RE: [ActiveDir] DDNS Registration Problem

[Wright, T. MR NSSB]

Al,             No errors in the event logs on the DNS server either.  I did take a look at the routing tables and everything appears to be normal, I have no problem getting from the client to the DNS server and back on port 53.  The only thing bound to the NICS is MS File & Print Sharing and the client for MS networks.  I am really confused since the reverse records seem to be registering without any problems.   -Tim   From: Mulnick, Al [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, May 03, 2004 11:30 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] DDNS Registration Problem   When you say no error, are you seeing any errors on the DNS servers?  Have you checked the routing tables on these machines?  Have you checked to see what is bound to the nic(s) to see if RRAS is getting in the way?   Al   From: Wright, T. MR NSSB [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, May 03, 2004 11:07 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [ActiveDir] DDNS Registration Problem Hello All,             I have this problem with a handful of machines, they refuse to dynamically register in the AD DNS.  The machines were registering at one point in time, but at some point they stopped doing so.  I stumbled upon this because I was working on one of these machines and when I would try to contact it by name I would actually get a different machine.  What had happened is the old DNS records were still there and it had not updated itself when it got a different IP address from the DHCP server.  I have since deleted the old DNS entries and when I try to force DNS registration nothing happens, and I get zero errors in the event logs.  The reverse records are registering properly, when I do ping –a I get the correct name.  When I do an NSlookup I get “host not found”.  The DHCP and DNS services on the client are all running fine.  The domain is Win2k SP4 and the clients are WinXP SP1, I have about 6000 clients that have no issues and these 20 machines which are having problems.  The only other thing that I found out of norm on these machines is that RRAS had been started.  I have since stopped and disabled that with no change.  Any help is appreciated.  Thanks,     -Tim
