Hello, I am running a mixed environment with a Windows NT/Unix. One of our Unix server grants DHCP Leases to clients, however it is not running the "Dynamic DNS Update" feature of Windows [This is the option that allows a workstation to automatically register its name in a Windows 2000 DNS Server's database].
My syslog is filling up with frequent requests for dynamic updates from clients, such as this: Oct 29 10:13:31 jerome named[10530]: denied update from [192.168.0.3].3045 for "sage" IN Oct 29 10:13:31 jerome dhcpd: if JAMES.sage IN A rrset doesn't exist add JAMES.sage 302400 IN A 192.168.8.212: timed out. I would like to globally disable this "Dynamic DNS" option. We are running an NT4 Domain and do not run any Group Policies or anything like that. I figured the easiest way of doing it would be to just update the relevant registry key upon login to ensure that option stays set to "off." According to http://www.bris.ac.uk/is/services/computers/operatingsystems/win2k/dns1. html, I need to update the registry with the following information: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters] "DisableDynamicUpdate"=dword:00000001 I am running it with a REGEDIT /S option: %SystemRoot%\REGEDIT /s R:\SYSTEM\UPDATES\disabledynamicdnsonclient.reg however, it doesn't work. The registry key changes, but the option in Windows XP doesn't uncheck. I am assuming Windows 2000 and Windows XP are not different when it comes to this setting. Am I overlooking something? -- Adam Smith Information Technology Officer SAGE Automation Ltd.
