Issue: A workstation was replaced and cannot be reached when you ping it by name. My admin tells me DNS/DHCP is working properly as the newly deployed workstation acquired its lease earlier in the day and the old workstations (same name) lease will expire in four days. If I ping the new IP address I do get a reply C:\>ping 10.237.4.83 Pinging 10.237.4.83 with 32 bytes of data: Reply from 10.237.4.83: bytes=32 time=1ms TTL=127 Shouldn’t the new workstation record be updated automatically in DNS regardless of the lease time? Is there anything you can suggest to prevent this from happening in the future? C:\>ping workstation1
