Aging and Scavenging for DNS help

[AA]

Hi, we have a single 2003 AD Domain, we have 2 DC which
both have integrated AD DNS. We have yet to turn on Aging
and Scavenging for DNS and have been told we should do.
I am aware it deletes any stale records etc, but I'm
worried it will delete our static records like our
Exchange 5.5 server (yikes!). We had to manually add
this for users to connect to it, so we don't wan tthis to
be deleted by Aging and Scavenging for DNS.

Hope you can clear this up.

no, aging/scavenging will not effect manually-added records, only those
added dynamically. all records are time-stamped, and manually-added records
are given a time-stamp of 0, which will make them unaffected. you can check
out this page which should explain the aging/scavenging process in detail:
http://www.microsoft.com/resources/...roddocs/en-us/sag_DNS_und_AgingScavenging.asp

hope this helps,

Dan

Thanks, and our win2000 and Win2003 servers will we fine
too as they have static IP's? Are the ones dynamically
added just our DHCP clients?
