DDNS & DHCP

[mike722]

Probably really easy for someone to solve this.

Setting up AD on an upgraded NT4 pdc to windows 2000. having trouble getting clients entries on the DNS automatically using DHCP. I have set the DHCP server setting to update all clients ip address on the DNS server regardless if the client is able to request it or now but nothinig is getting updated in the DNS. Both win XP and windows 98 clients who both get ip address's from DHCP don't have any entries on the DNS server. Can anyone help?

Set it only to update clients that do not support dynamic update. Otherwise you will have DHCP and XP clients both trying to update DNS (causes problems). If you have DNS set for only secure updates, you might need to make the server hosting DHCP a member of the DNS update proxy group in active directory. Also make sure you are passing the DNS ip address to your clients in the scope options. To see if that is being done, run ipconfig /all on the client and see if has picked up the DNS address from DHCP.

If you do make the DHCP a member of the DNSupdateProxy group, make sure the server is NOT a Domain Controler. Causes a security flaw. Hewissa
