Unless you enable it on a server (or manually initiate it against a server) nothing's actually being scavenged. The settings on the zone only allow the timestamps to replicate and defines what records would be deleted assuming scavenging is run. So until a DNS server that hosts a primary copy of the zone performs the scavenging process you can continue to watch those duplicates accumulate and your SMS admins complain. :)

Looking through our DNS records for our domain, there's like 2 and 3 machine names for one IP. Two of them were tossed in the trash, one is still alive. We have scavenging set to 7 days on the zones, but not enabled at the server level (that seems a bit scarier). Shouldn't DNS scavenging work if enabled on the zone? We're running Win2k3 on our DNS/DCs, some with sp1 some without.
