DNS Aging and Scavenging has been corrected.
Main Topics
Browse All TopicsHi,
We have windows 2003 DNS & DHCP servers.
Recently we are facing some issues with the duplicate entries of the systems, like two systems are pointing to same IP address. When I do the nbtstat then only I am able to find the exact system name for which the IP address is assigned.
The lease period we have set on the DHCP is 3 days.
We have enabled 'Always dynamically update DNS A and PTR records', but still we are facing the same issue.
Attached is the screenshot of the scope properties.
We don't have WINS in our environment.
Please help me to rectify this issue.

DHCP isn't all that great at keeping DNS neat and tidy. Configuring Aging and Scavenging would be well worth it. There's a rather good guide on doing that here:

If you can, increasing the DHCP lease would help a bit as well, depends on how your network is used though.
