Do if you add a DNS sever you RDP to each system? Yeech (unless you have <30 systems) The segmentation you use is how we have our DHCP set up - a range for servers, another for each floor in our building. We have so much server churn here manual IP is simply impractical - I have built probably 20 servers and repurposed (re-imaged) another 20-30 in the last 12 months. If I can get SCCM/BDD enough of a priority then I'd be sittin' pretty (err, handsome-er).
I just hate having to KVM to each machine to change an IP setting, I'd just as soon do it from a single MMC, but if it's working for you, I can't 'dis' it!

Static assigned at the server. I have my network IP's carved up into nice little segments with a specific IP ranges for servers, workstations and printers. Workstations get DHCP, printers get DHCP reservations, servers get their own range of IP addresses statically assigned to them. None of them overlap. Actually, in my server IP range it is even further segmented to Production servers, Development and Test, and each of those environments is further segmented into physical or virutal ,and then there is the DMZ...... Say, that sounds a little bit like network segmentation........ On Mon, Apr 14, 2008 at 12:19 PM, David Lum <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Static.....you mean static via DHCP reservation, right? If you mean static at the server I declare you insane unless you need multiple IP's for some reason J. Shook: 1: No 2: DHCP duration - 8 days 3: Zone in question is set to 1 day for both no-refresh and refresh intervals (at the zone) but at the server level (in the DNS MMC) it is set not to scavenge at all.

We have a pair of servers that seem to lose their DNS (A) records whenever they renew their IP. DNS and DHCP reside on the same DC (and how bad is that for security, anyone explicitly avoid this scenario?), clients in question are 2003 Server SP2. Just re-familiarizing how the client DNS registration process will help me immensely.
