Sorry what I meant to say was Enable scavenging on all the zones but remove the "delete this record when it becomes stale". Can you elaborate on If you want to touch all the records in a zone you'll need a loop on top of dnscmd.?

You don't need to touch the settings on any of those SRV records for AD. Likewise with the PTR records you shouldn't need to touch them. If you want to touch all the records in a zone you'll need a loop on top of dnscmd.

And I have a few questions: Should I turn off scavenging on the Forward Lookup Zones's and its sub folders? By removing the "delete this record when it becomes stale" There are a lot of_ldap srv and HOST A records with the scavenging set. Realistically these servers will always on We also have about 10+ subnets and 2 of these subnets contain all our main servers which have DHCP reservations etc Some of these DNS entries have "delete this record when it becomes stale" set and some do not have this set. Can I force to have this setting turned off on all 512 hosts in these 2 x /24 subnets? Anything else I want to watch out for?
