DNS issues

This question is also a piggyback on my newly asked question about:  SCCM clean up regarding clients showing up on DNS duplicate wise.

https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/29145134/SCCM-clean-up-regarding-clients.html


 The issue of DNS scavenging was brought up, but was shot down because of the affects it could have.  Also need some type of best practice resolution to this as well.  Preferably with some document links and solutions.

setup dns scavenging with half period of dhcp scope lease
also its already enabled on zone level
enable it on any one dns server by navigating dns server console \ server \ right click \ properties \ advanced tab

there many articles available how to set it

As Mahesh mentioned DNS scavenging for half the length of your DHCP lease is the best way to go.  This also meets best practice that you requested.
What is likely happening is your DHCP lease is expiring and the system will register itself with its new IP address.  However since you do not have scavenging turned on the old ip address will remain in DNS.
