DNS server picking up wrong IP address of server

Hi all,

Have an odd one. Just built a 2016 server (VM) and done the usually changed the DHCP address to a static as configured on the NIC. However rather than updating the DNS record it keeps adding the wrong address in teh DNS entry.

I have checked the DHCP server and deleted the original lease.

I have deleted the DNS entry and and run an registerdns command from server.

I have gone into registry of server and cleaned out any old NIC entries.

Not sure what where to go next....

configure static DNS reservation with MAC+IP, so that dhcp does not issue IP to others.

try this command....

netsh interface ipv4 set address "Local Area Connection" static 10.0.0.55 255.0.0.0 10.0.0.1

It might get an error "Object already exists"

netsh interface ipv4 set address "Local Area Connection" static 10.0.0.55 255.0.0.0 10.0.0.1

try both commands and check.

I have run into an odd issue in the past where a IP of a VM was still reachable after the VM was powered down and deleted. After working with VMware support the issue was with the host and was cleared with a reboot of the ESXi host.  As a test have you tried to vMotion the VM to another host to see if the issue persist?

Not sure how changing the ip address with netsh updated the dns record.

Not sure but that was the last thing I did and it worked.
