Comments on: Computer account not added to DNS record

Unfortunately the resolution to my problem will be more ambiguous as we haven’t had any admin exporting DNS records. Also, we could run a script that would do an ipconfig /registerdns on all servers, however, the problem is that the servers this is happening to don’t have “write” access to their own DNS records….so doing an “ipconfig /registerdns” would just error out on them. And like I said, I could manually add the servers AD account to the DNS record, but this wouldn’t solve the problem of WHY this is happening to certain servers in the first place and it wouldn’t ensure that this wouldn’t happen again.

I’m glad that my info went in this time. The site crashed while I was typing it in the first time.

Unfortunately the article over at EventID.net did not solve my problem. They pretty much told me what I already knew – that the AD computer account didn’t have access to the DNS record – and as I pointed out, I can easily fix this by adding the AD computer account name to the DNS record ACL, however, I’m wanting to prevent this from happening on servers in the future. I’m wanting to know WHY the AD computer account isn’t being automatically added to the DNS ACL like it should be…so I can prevent further server’s DNS records from being deleted. The other solutions at eventid.net didn’t apply to my situation….

Thanks and I appreciate any help you’re able to provide me.
