Dynamic DNS will update the record. If you place the A record in the DNS zone and stop DHCP client then DDNS will not work and the record should act like a regular manual host entry.
-----Original Message----- From: Jeremy [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, July 18, 2008 11:56 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: DNS "delete this record when it becomes stale" I have 4 DCs in 2 sites. 1 forward lookup zone, corp.company.com. My DCs and my mail servers keep getting the "Delete this record when it becomes stale" box checked. I uncheck it, and look at it later and it is checked again. I have tried deleting and recreating the record, when I create the record the box in unchecked, later it is checked again. How do I make it so that these records are not aged? Replication is to all DNS servers in the Active Directory Forrest. Dynamic updates is set to Non-secure and Secure.
