Sorry for jumping into this in the middle. I've been partially following the thread.
To the OP, have you tried:
Convert the zone from AD-intg to Primary one DC
Updating the server data file on that server (done by r-clicking the zone and clicking "update....")
Delete the zone from the other DC.
After that, check system32\dns on the DC where you did the conversion and open up the corresponding in-addr.arpa file in notepad, delete the offending records and save the file.
After that, go back to DNS console and reload the zone file.
If everything looks OK, wait a while to see if the offending entries re-appear. If they don't, then convert the zone back to AD-intg and let it replicate to the other DC.
Sincerely,

Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] DNS entry won't delete
Hi Bruce, Can you find the object using ADSIEDIT? There are three places you should check for the DNS zone. You've already checked DomainDNSZones, so that leaves the domain partition and the ForestDNSZones partition. The domain partition should be in adsiedit by default, but you will need to add ForestDNSZones. Once you have adsiedit opened, right-click "ADSI Edit" in the left column, then choose "Connect to". Choose "Select or type a Distinguished Name or Naming Context" and enter the dn of your forestdnszones partition in the text box. It should look something like dc=forestdnszones,dc=yourforestroot,dc=com. Change the value of the Name field to ForestDNSZones. Click OK. You should now have the ForestDNSZones partition in the left column. Expand the left column as follows (I'm using 192.168.1.0 as the network in this example): (ForestDNSZones) ForestDNSZones > DC=ForestDNSZones,DC=yourforestroot,DC=com > CN=MicrosoftDNS > DC=1.168.192.in-addr.arpa. - OR - (Domain) Domain > DC=yourdomain,DC=com > CN=System > CN=MicrosoftDNS > DC=1.168.192.in-addr.arpa Find the duplicate record. Right-click it and choose Properties. Find the distinguishedName attribute and copy/paste the value into a notepad window. In your response to William King, you indicated that the record reappears immediately when you delete it. Delete the entire record in adsiedit. This should remove the good AND the bad records. Refresh the reverse lookup zone and see if it's truly gone. Get on the machine that currently has the IP address and force registration using "ipconfig /registerdns". Verify, in adsiedit and DNS management, that the record is correct. If everything is correct, keep an eye on it for a few hours and make sure that the bad data doesn't return. If the bad data does return, you can then plug the record's dn into the "repadmin /showobjmeta" command to find out when the dnsRecord attribute was last modified. Then you can look at the security log on the domain controller to find out who modified that object at that time. It's possible that you're not auditing these objects. If that's the case, then see http://support.microsoft.com/?id=814595 for details on how to enable auditing. Let us know if this works out for you. -Andrew -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Clingaman, Bruce Sent: Wednesday, September 27, 2006 8:33 AM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] DNS entry won't delete The address field is not editable.

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] <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.
