Finally had to use dmscmd.exe to remove the entry and clean up forward and reverse lookup zones, then recycled dns service and all was set.

Interesting. I DHCP every server possible, using reservations of course.

I never use DHCP for servers either, but I have had a few pop into DHCP "of their own volition" during network changes, especially name changes.

Folks have a hard time getting a entry for a system that has been renamed on my network, to delete from DNS. I have already ran ipconfig /flushdns at my workstation and at the DNS server. I have already said update the ptr record in the primary zone on the DNS server and went to the secondary server and transfer form master. I have deleted the old entries from both of my WINS servers and replicated. I have restarted DNS client service and DNS Server Service on the DNS server. I cant see the entry in WINS console or the DNS management console. The Old name was servername1 the new servername is servername2. When I query the old name servername1.domain.domain.org. it comes back with the address. When I query the new name it comes back with the same dam thing. HELP! Z Edward E.
