[itdiscuss] DNS Problems

[Jason Hand]

DHCP should be reporting the assigned IP addresses to the DNS server.  First
thing I would check is DNS event log for errors.  Next make sure that you
don't have any misconfiguration of your DNS.  DC's should always point to
themselves first for primary dns on NIC card.  Check also to make sure that
you do not have any orphaned DC's or DNS servers listed in AD.  You can
check that by looking in your DNS configuration and see if there are any
servers listed as DC's that shouldn't be. If you go to AD Sites and
Services, what servers are listed as replicating with each other?  When you
try to have it replicate there, does it pass?  
 
Most of the time it is a simple NIC configuration issue.  Either the
workstations do not point to the DC's or the DC's are not configured
properly so that they can first make sure they are kept up to date and then
replicating those changes to other DC's.

Subject: [itdiscuss] DNS Problems



I'm having DNS problems on my network.  Normally DDNS should kick in to keep
my DNS server up to date with the IPs of my DHCP clients.  However, my DNS
servers are not staying up to date with the information for these clients.
Does anyone have an idea on how to trouble-shoot this problem?

 

Thanks,
