Such is the fun of Microsoft DNS. For some reason, it feel it should trust the client and let it update the dns entry. When you image boots, it grabs the address, but desn't attempt to update the name, so M$ assigns the last name it had for that address. You can set a reservation for your image if you want to use dhcp and also control the name. ------------------------ Daniel Schrock -------------------- m2f -------------------- Read this topic online here: http://community.zenoss.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=11708#11708 -------------------- m2f -------------------- _______________________________________________ zenoss-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.zenoss.org/mailman/listinfo/zenoss-users
