Hi All,

Have random clients on the network pick up an old dns ip address of
192.168.1.6. This setting overrides all other settings to define dns servers
such as dhcp server options, dhcp scope options and suprisingly GPO (domain).

Don't understand why these clients are pcking up this old dns IP even when
scope tions and GPO specify main DNS server (192.168.1.8).

NO DNS/DHCP services runniong on 192.168.1.6.

Not sure what puts this entry on the registry, under local
machines,software,polcies, microsoft,windowsnt,dnsclient ?

Tried to run gpudate on XP SP2 machines but they hold onto the 192.168.1.6
address inn registry under dnsclient key even though GPO specify 192.168.1.8.
This part of the GPO doesn't seem to work if there is data under this key
(DNSClient)

Any help please

Thanks
S

Look at "ipconfig /all" for the problem computers. What DHCP server do they
report?

Hi,

They report to the main DNS server (192.168.1.8) Also a DC with the FSMO
roles allocated to it (although this shouldn't make a difference).

Checked IP config /all and all seems to be be normal to those PC's without
this problem.

Do you know what is responsible for that key (DNSClient) in the registry ?
What services/policy/server etc.. write to this key ? I though it was GPO ?

Thanks
