The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Server 2008 DNS record keeps disappearing

Asked by csandlin in Domain Name Service (DNS), Windows Server 2008

Tags: Server 2008 DNS record keeps disappearing

I have an Exchange 2007 Client Access Server with an A record that keeps disappearing about every 10 minutes. The record is static and the server does not register its own DNS records. The option to "Delete this record when it becomes stale" is not checked. I can manually scavenge records and the record will stay, as it should since it is static anyways. It then disappears for whatever reason about every 10 minutes.

Some background info: We have multiple AD sites with multiple DC's and Exchange servers. All DC's are also DNS servers, and some of the DC's are also DHCP servers, although the server subnet does not have DHCP. This particular server is running Server 2008 x64. It has two different IP addresses and we do not want one of them to register in DNS which is why we are using the static DNS entry. This has been fine for months and then just started happening yesterday, after I found and deleted an invalid A record for that server (was for the other IP address that we don't want a record for).
This is driving me nuts. I had to put in hosts file entries for this on all the Exchange servers so mail can still flow properly. Any ideas?
