BackupPC is running on a dedicated Debian Jessie machine (custom built 2U).
Our PDC and SDC are Windows Server 2012 (Dell servers).
You are right, JY, the laptop in question isn’t appearing in the forward lookup
zone. I will have to dig into that. Thanks.

I've forgotten most of what I ever knew about windows networking, but
isn't there a client-side setting as to whether a DHCP client
registers itself into DNS? Also, is your backuppc DNS server your PDC
or does it have to keep DNS updated to some other server for your
domain?
