Server 2008 continues to register NIC's in DNS

  • 772

I have a Server 2008 R2 box running Hyper-V, hosting VM's. I have 4 NIC's set up - the primary network NIC, 1 NIC for the SAN, and 2 NIC's for the virtual machines. The 2 NIC's for the virtual machines continue to register in DNS despite having the Register this Connection in DNS checkbox cleared. I am running a Windows Server 2003 Domain with AD-Integrated Zones.

Even after I delete the A records for the 2 NIC's for the virtual machines, they continue to re-appear in DNS.

I am not sure how to stop this behavior.

  1. Your DHCP server may be configured to register them on their behalf.

    Palm to forehead. I rebooted the Server 08 box and the unwanted A records disappeared from DNS.

  3. FYI, you could also just restart the DNS Client service instead of a full reboot.
