Caponato's Notebook

I have run in the past with some issues where clients were unable to update their IP in the DNS servers. This solved my problems:

Create a new GPO and assign to the domain.

Browse to Computer Configuration / Policies / Administrative Templates / Network / DNS Client and configure the following:

1. Dynamic update: Enable.
2. Register PTR record: Enable and select “Register” from drop down menu
3. Registration refresh interval: 1800s
4. Replace address in conflicts: Enable.

Please note : updating PTR records is not yet supported by Samba, see:

sponsoring the work the implement this by some Samba developers is welcome.
