W2K and DNS updates

[Tester]

Hi there,
Does anyone know how to disable dns updates on a W2K server trying to update
a Unix DNS server zone?
Thanks a lot, Calin

Deny zone transfers for that zone of Linux secondary pull.
Only allow internal AD_dns servers zone transfers, usually
only those listed on the name servers tab under that zone
properties. This will stop all zone transfer requests for
that zone outside of AD.

Hi BP,
Sorry, we do not use DNS zones on W2K and no AD just NT4 domains and
this is a W2K standalone application server(email, dhcp and print server)
which tries to update Unix DNS. Thanks a lot, Calin

You can edit the registry to disable dynamic updates - See:
