I experienced a similar occurrence a while back with a pointer record that wouldn't delete.
I initially thought it was being re-registered, but I found that if I deleted it via the DNS Management snap-in it would immediately re-appear after hitting F5. Can you confirm if the record comes back immediately after hitting refresh or if it comes back after a set period of time?

Other things to check: Are the domains integrated? Primary? How are the reverse and forward zones configured? I'm surprised to hear the record is not in WINS. I assume then that it's not a Windows server then? What type of server is it? What is the OS? Al On 9/26/06, Clingaman, Bruce <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: I got "object not found" error.

Then, if you have auditing enabled for that operation, you can check the originating DC to see who made the change. repadmin /showobjmeta yourdc "dc=recordname,dc=yourzone.com ,cn=MicrosoftDNS,dc=DomainDNSZones,dc=your domain,dc=com" Replace yourdc, etc with appropriate values for your domain. For a reverse lookup zone, recordname will be the last octet of the IP address and dc=yourzone.com will be something like dc=2.1.10.in-addr.arpa, where 2.1.10 is the reverse notation of the first three octets of your IP address. Be sure that you have the partition where the zone is stored correct, whether it's DomainDNSZones, ForestDNSZones, or the domain partition. The dnsRecord attribute is the one that you are interested in. -Andrew ________________________________ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Clingaman, Bruce Sent: Tuesday, September 26, 2006 8:19 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [ActiveDir] DNS entry won't delete I have three DNS entries in my Reverse lookup zone that were for static addresses that won't go away. The problem is one of them shares the address and hostname (different domain name, domain was renamed) assigned to another server. When I delete it, it immediately reappears. I am unable to determine what is putting these entries back in. They were for OS X machines, one is a client, the other was a server. The client has been changed to DHCP. The server was reinstalled and given a different IP address. I have a single level domain with two DCs, one is a WINS server, AD/DNS integrated.
