Some clients don't register in DNS

[A.S.]

Hi,

All my clients are in a microsoft domain. On each clients, in TCP/IP
configuration, I checked the option "register this connection's
addresses in DNS" but, some clients and I don't know why don't
register in DNS.

Can someone help me ?

Thanks in advance

Without enough info on your config, there are basic rules for registration
to follow:

1. Make sure all internal machines ONLY point to your internal DNS. No ISP
servers can be in their IP properties (DCs and clients).
2. The Primary DNS Suffix must be set to the AD DNS Domain name. This is
true for ALL machines, DCs and clients.
3. The zone name in DNS must match the AD DNS domain name.
4. The zone name must be set to allow dynamic updates
5. The AD DNS domain name must not be a single label name ("domain" rather
than the required format of "domain.com".
