Hello Russ, they just get repopulated if you delete all of them (keep one and it doesn't get repopulated). There are multiple instances where you need to change to keep them from repopulating. One instance to change that is the checkbox Dean pointed out, but what I also like is just putting in your internal roothints, e.g. I put the forwarder to the next higher DNS-Servers in the domain hierarchy and put in root hints to the nameservers responsible to the root of the company. Then I'm also able to get rid of the default roothint server, as long as there are entries they won't repopulate. This is even easy to script with dnscmd.
Gruesse - Sincerely, Ulf B. Simon-Weidner -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Im Auftrag von Rimmerman, Russ Gesendet: Dienstag, 8. Juni 2004 22:49 An: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Betreff: [ActiveDir] Root Hints We keep wiping out our root hints from our Win2k DNS servers, and they keep repopulating. Is this something that replicates between DNS servers, or will it just not allow our root hints to be blank? Our firewall is a DNSD server and so we forward everything to the firewall for external DNS lookups, but since the roothints keep populating on our Win2k DNS servers, the firewall is generating huge amounts of logs from the internal Win2k servers trying to do external lookups.
