True, but only servers enabled for scavenging will scavenge records in zones which they host that also have scavenging enabled.
Here's the logic: 1. Is scavenging enabled for the server? Yes - continue to 2 No - do not run scavenging thread. We're done. 2. Is scavenging enabled for any zone hosted by server? Yes - continue and scavenge all zones [DDNS records only] which are enabled for scavenging as per settings. Then goto 3. No - do not run scavenging thread. We're done. - Is scavenging enabled on any static records? Yes - continue and scavenge all static records which are enabled for scavenging as per settings No - we're done Make sense? neil -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Rimmerman, Russ Sent: 16 November 2006 12:32 To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] DNS Scavenging But I just read in the DNS doc that "You can manually enable or disable aging and scavenging on a per-server, per-zone, or per-record basis." This would mean that we CAN enable it on the zone but not at the server level, wouldn't it? -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Roger Longden Sent: Wednesday, November 15, 2006 7:37 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] DNS Scavenging 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. :) - Roger -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Rimmerman, Russ Sent: Wednesday, November 15, 2006 8:03 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [ActiveDir] DNS Scavenging We're in the middle of an SMS deployment and SMS is making us very aware that DNS scavenging and WINS tombstoning doesn't appear to be happening as much as it should. 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.
