Check %SystemRoot%\system32\dns\ for any files which might contain the offending record. Some vague notion deep in the dusty reaches of the back of my mind says there's a thing where MS-DNS will automatically load/merge records from (some of?) those files even if it's AD integrated. Open the MS DNS MMC GUI. Enable "Advanced" features (under "View" menu). Select the offending record and bring up properties. What's the time stamp? Is it something recent or wicked old? Check the "Security" tab. See if there are any funky permissions that might be restricting things. If you can, try stopping your DHCP server service(s) and then deleting the record, to see if it comes back without DHCP running. It's the DHCP service which actually issues the DDNS UPDATE command for AD clients. -- Ben ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
