DNS timestamps not updating

[Guest]

We want to implement scavenging within our DNS zones but none of the timestamps in the forward or reverse zones are being updated. Any ideas on why the timestamps are not being updated

Here is a quick summary of the environment

** Active Directory Windows 2000 integrated zones with dns running on two domain controllers
** DHCP is being used for workstations and servers but servers have a reservation created. Neither workstations or server timetamps are being updated.
** DHCP reservations are for 7 day

The following options are checked under the dns tab within each dhcp scope propertie
- enable dns dynamic updates according to the belo
- Dynamically update DNS A and PTR records only if requested by the DHCP clients settings is checke
- Discard A and PTR records when lease is delete

Thanks in advance for any help

By default, Aging and Scavenging stamp the time only on dynamically updated
records. You can user DNSCMD command to stamp the time on all the DNS
records.

Make sure Aging and Scavenging enabled in Server level and in Zone level.
