| Dear List
I have an issue with dynamic DNS and I'm wondering whether anyone can point me in the right direction. It seems that when I change the DHCP IP address on a workstation to static, the DNS record is not dynamically updated.
This is the process.....
Computer assigned DHCP address of 192.168.10.5. DNS record is created in the porkies.local DNS zone Computer assigned static address of 192.168.10.54 DNS record is NOT updated.
So I carry out an Ipconfig /registerdns on the computer and it logs the following event id:
Event ID 11163
The system failed to register host (A) resource records (RRs) for network adapter with settings:
Adapter Name : {19E26ADC-9F3B-4D54-B500-598AA5A2E496} Host Name : XP001 Primary Domain Suffix : porkies.local DNS server list : 192.168.10.18, 192.168.5.18 Sent update to server : 192.1.1.1 IP Address(es) : 192.168.10.54
The reason the system could not register these RRs was because the DNS server failed the update request. The most likely cause of this is that the authoritative DNS server required to process this update request has a lock in place on the zone, probably because a zone transfer is in progress.
You can manually retry DNS registration of the network adapter and its settings by typing "ipconfig /registerdns" at the command prompt. If problems still persist, contact your DNS server or network systems administrator.
DNS is configured for secure updates. This is a Windows 2003 Active Directory integrated zone.
If I manually delete the record in DNS and do an IPCONFIG/ Registerdns, everything works fine but I don't want to have to do this every time. I noticed that it's trying to send the update to 192.1.1.1?? that doesn't exist.
Has anyone experienced this before? My thought was that if you changed a DHCP address to static, the associated DNS records would be updated as well?
Any advice appreciated

| How is your DHCP server configured for that subnet?
Specifically, the dns settings information for that subnet?
Most likely, the issue has to do with the permisisons based on the symptoms you describe, but more information is needed.
Since it's a secure zone, I'm assuming this is an AD integrated zone. If not, please let us know. The event indicates a lock, but that may be a false lead.
Any history you can provide would also be useful.

| Could it be that the DNS record is updated by DHCP (if totally well configured, a dedicated account) and that when changing the IP to a fix one, it tries to update the record with different credentials?
1. It uses the dedicated account through DHCP
2. It uses the computer account itself

| The DHCP server is sitting on a DC which is also a WINS and DNS server. We have two of these.
The DHCP config contains:
2 x DNS servers 2 x WINS servers, Domain name = porkies.local Default gateway = 192.168.10.1
I'm not sure what other information you need?
It is an AD integrated zone on Windows 2003 R2.
I am pretty sure it's permissions problem as my colleague mentioned that she changed the security settings of the DNS record to allow authenticated user write permissions and the record was updated?? I need to verify this myself to be certain. In any case what object/security principal is responsible for updating the DNS record in the DHCP and Static IP scenario?

| The way it is configured for the DNS settings tab? Is it configured to have DHCP update the dns records? If so, that is likely your problem. When DHCP handles name registration, the computer account has no need to be added to the computer security principal - the DHCP server handles it. When you go to a static registration, often we do not release the address first (that leaves the record out there) and the computer account does not have the sufficient privs to delete/modify etc.
A quick fix is to add the computer account to the dns record acl. Then it can update the records appropriately.
Another suggestion would be to evaluate changing your dhcp/dns interaction so that it does not register the records on behalf of the windows hosts. That may or may not be possible in your environment - you'll have to evaluate that impact. You would still have to change the records that currently exist, i.e. either delete them and let them re-register or change the permissions on the objects to allow them to update themselves.
Either way, I agree its a permisisons issue. Just a question of how you want to modify it to suit your needs. I'm sure there are other ways to adjust this as well depending on your unique requirements.
