Microsoft Windows Dynamic DNS Updates for Host Fails

On some occasions computer hosts may fail to update the A, PTR records within a Microsoft Windows DNS zone. Here are some steps to troubleshoot the issue:

  1. Verify that the host is configured for dynamic updates in the Advanced TCP/IP properties of the relevant NIC.
  2. Ensure that the “Register this connection’s addresses in DNS” andUse this connection’s DNS suffix in DNS registration” are checked.
  3. Verify that the host has at least one of the two suffixes configured in the output of ipconfig /all.
  4. Verify that the DHCP client service is started on the host
  5. In the DNS management console check the properties of the Forward Lookup Zone and ensure that the either “Secure only” or Non-Secure and Secure” are checked.
  6. If “Secure only” is checked try ” Non-Secure and Secure”
  7. Verify that the host is a member of the domain
  8. From the host run the command ipconfig /registerdns from a CMD prompt
  9. If the problem is isolated to one host then remove and rejoin to the domain
