Windows 2003 Server is trying to update Unix Server

[Mark]

My Windows 2003 Server DNS located on my campus is trying to update our main office DNS Server which is 10 miles away and is a Unix based system. How do I stop from updating this Unix system.

Thanks, Mark

Remove the Unix DNS from your Win2k3 TCP/IP properties and point it back to it's own address for DNS.

Use Outlook Express?... Get OE_Quotefix:

There is no entry for the Unix Servers under the TCP/IP properties, the only entry that I have for those Unix Servers is in DNS properties under Forwarders Tab, is there anything else I could try to fix this problem?.

Does your Local DNS server have the zone for both the Primary and the connection specific DNS suffixes?

TCP/IP will try to register its addresses in the zone for both of these suffixes.
An ipconfig /all will help diagnose this.

Also, is the zone a secondary of a zone on the Unix box?
Do any other machines have the Unix server in their IP properties?
Is the Unix server address in the nameservers tab of the zone?
Under Ip properties, advanced button, DNS tab, does a zone exist in there
and checked off to register that happens to be the zone in the Unix box?
Are the zone names different or the same as the Unix box?\
Is the zone a child of the zone in the Unix box?

Forwarding will not send updates.
