DNS updating records
How do you force DNS in Active Directory to update/clean out old records? From time to time we have issues with two pc's having a DNS record for the same ip address. I believe this happens when we rename a pc. I believe the old DNS records do not always automatically get deleted. This causes problems with our VNC veiwer.

I have Scavenging enable. I believe I problem my be caused by DHCP leases and DNS records, when we bring pc's to HQ to work on them and then return them to their orginal branch/site. If their lease gets renew at HQ (leases are for 1 week) when they return to their correct location the DNS records are for HQ.
We delete the dns record at HQ and do a ipconfig /release and /renew at the new location. This fixs the problem with VNC. Other than shorter leases, is there a better way?

I am sure you need an automated solution for the deletion of the stale/old-unused records from DNS.
We call it Scavenging. You have to enable scavenging to purge the stale records out of the DNS.
To get a better insight of Scavenging, go through this article:
