Yes, you could. &nbsp;I wouldn't do the scavenging on your primary domain (Ie domain.local) as if you have static entries (which everyone does for printers, routers, switches, etc) these will get scrubbed. &nbsp;The reverse lookup zone is pretty safe to scrub.

How do I fix this? &nbsp; I can delete all of them, but that doesn't fix it, as I deleted some manually a while ago. &nbsp;Is there a setting in DNS somewhere to automatically update the reverse DNS pointers when a PC changes it's IP address?

DNS reverse lookup not updating automatically

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.

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).

It has a number of versions, including including Foundation, Standard, Enterprise, Datacenter, Web, HPC Server, Itanium and Storage; new features included server core installation and Hyper-V.
