You know, Chris is right and I am wrong.<br />
<br />
I have never had to refresh the records in order to keep them. <br />
<br />
But, when I was looking for a link to explain why these records are kept, I found one that misled me in to believing that the records need to be refreshed. <br />
<br />
I should have trusted my experience rather that something I read. <br />
<br />
Sorry, about that. <br />

Hello,<br />
<br />
I've got a Win 2003 AD integrated DNS, DHCP etc.<br />
<br />
I have problems with multiple host records for the same IP etc..<br />
<br />
I would like to turn on scavenging, although the last time this happened, some A records for non windows systems dissappeared.<br />

I have heard that this should not be happening......is there any other settings I should be looking for?<br />

Hello,

I've got a Win 2003 AD integrated DNS, DHCP etc.

I have problems with multiple host records for the same IP etc..

I would like to turn on scavenging, although the last time this happened, some A records for non windows systems dissappeared.

I have heard that this should not be happening......is there any other settings I should be looking for?

Scavenging records - will that delete manual entries?

The Domain Name System (DNS) is a hierarchical, globally distributed system responsible for associating the name of a computer, service or other resource into an IP address for connecting to the Internet or a private network. Most prominently, it translates domain names to the numerical IP addresses needed for the purpose of computer services and devices worldwide.

The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is an auto configuration protocol used on IP networks and an extension of the Bootstrap Protocol. DHCP allows for computers to be configured automatically to communicate with each other over an IP network without the need for manual setup by a network administrator. The implementation of DHCP relies on a DHCP server to hand out network configuration information to DHCP-capable clients that request an IP address (and other information required or useful in communicating with other devices on an IP network). In addition to an IP address, common configuration information served over DHCP includes a default gateway, subnet mask and DNS sever(s).

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).
