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.

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.
