Hi Devan, I have not experienced scavenging/aging issues in the environments I've worked in (medium and large). As far as the DHCP option, when a machine loses its lease, DHCP can automatically unregister the machine from DNS. This would in theory make scavenging unnecessary since there is nothing to scavenge. I'd still leave scavenging enabled, it wouldn't hurt. Any static IP that drops off will need to be scavenged. The setting does not override what's setup for the DNS zone. --Brian

Subject: [ActiveDir] DNS Scavenging and Secondary Zones
Hi,
I am in the midst of testing and eventually activating DNS aging and
scavenging for all zones on a particular DNS server (ADI zones).
This server also has a secondary copy of the forest-wide _msdcs zone,
obviously being a secondary zone it should not affect the aging and
scavenging of stale records on that zone (as it cannot write to it) but has
anyone experienced or knows of any known issues to date (Windows 2000 Native
mode environment).
Also, on the same subject does anyone know what the correlation is between
the DNS tab under DHCP scopes and aging and scavenging on a DNS server?
"Discard A and PTR records when lease is deleted"
Does the above setting in DHCP overwrite the aging and scavenging process
interval times through DNS?
Thanks in advance,
