DNS records not updating

[C Hall]

hello everyone,

We have a W2K domain--domain.com, which we use for our forward lookup zone,
but not all the clients on the network are members of the AD domain. Would
this effect clients registering in DNS? I'm thinking it wouldn't make a
difference, but not sure what else to look at...

Here's the situation: I've setup DNS with the above zone and appropriate
reverse zones...we have several. We're changing the clients DNS
configuration, location by location. I have DHCP in one of our locations and
I have it configured to update clients ALWAYS; I've also set it up to update
downlevel clients. All zones are configured to allow dynamic updates (YES)
and the PTR records seem to be getting updated, but the A records are not
getting updated.

Thanks,
Chris

You can try putting domain.com into the "DNS suffix for this connection" and
enabling the "Use this connection's DNS suffix in DNS registration".

Hmmm..I was thinking about that, but will have to touch a lot of PCs, which
I will have to do eventually....

Thanks Deji.

You don't have to touch them, per se - unless of course you like the
touching part

If you search on MS script center, you'll likely see snippets of a vbscript
that you could use remotely. Failing that, netsh should be able to help you.

See that...another reason to hang out in these forums!!! Scripting I'm not
too familiar with, but need to learn anyway. I know this isn't a script
forum, but for someone who has taken some programing classes (i understand
variables, programming constructs and such), can you give me down and dirty
pointers on getting started with vbscript?

Cheers!
