Question
Monday, July 27, 2015 11:33 AM
I have DNS configured on Windows Server 2012 and my DHCP is configured on Cisco Meraki MX100 devices. For some reasons my clients were not registering in to DNS automatically, I have have changed the Dynamic updates to "Nonsecure and secure" and clients managed to register is DNS while adding in to AD but not in reverse PTR DNS. I tried few commands like RegisterDNS but no luck. I know many people recommend DHCP configured in same machine or windows machine but it will be a lot configurations work if I move DHCP on windows and for some other network reason I would like to keep it on Meraki devices.
Can you please advise?

Whenever you have Active Directory, always use DNS and DHCP that "sit" on domain controller.

Hi Tahir,
By default, DHCP client updates its Host record on DNS server and DHCP server updates the PTR record for the client.
There are two methods to configure DHCP client to make the registration.
1. Configure local group policy:
Enter “gpedit.msc” in the Start Search box and find the following policy:
Computer Configuration\Administrative Template\Network\DNS Client\Register PTR Records. Then change the setting.
2. Change the setting of adapter:
- Open the Properties of Network adapter.
- Open the Properties of IPv4.
- Click Advanced and choose DNS.
- Select Use this connection's DNS suffix in DNS registration.
Best Regards,
Leo
