The myth with DHCP, AD-integrated DNS, DNSUpdateProxy etc


hello community,

after searching several days answers , solutions , after different statements i'm tired :-(

problem:

in our environment use microsoft dhcp (2012 r2) serve clients (windows , non-windows) ip's. ad-joined windows-clients registering themself in dns (ad-integrated) , working fine. notice strange behaviour non-windows-clients mac, linux etc. partially they're getting no dns-entry or extremly delayed (hours later). i've checked dhcp-log (c:\windows\system32\dhcp\) , see lot of entries with:

31,03/23/17,11:33:18,dns update failed,10.19.123.45,hostname.domain.local,,,0,6,,,,,,,,,2

yesterday playing around test-client (ubuntu) , tried different solutions no success. there no dns-entry created. morning when came work, found dns-entry timestamp yesterday 10pm (when test-client offline!). so seems there huge delay. have no replication issues (repadmin /replsum , dcdiag fine!)

my setup:

  • active directory on windows server 2012 r2 dc's
  • ad integrated dns
  • windows server 2012 r2 dhcp
  • dhcp configured credentials (ipv4 -> properties -> advanced -> credentials) dynamic update dns
  • dhcp-computer-account member of dnsupdateproxy-group

my questions:

  1. does user-account (configured in dhcp update dynamic dns) need member of dnsupdateproxy-group? can't find official reference , in blog-post write yes , in other no
  2. i cannot find "dnsupdateproxy"-group in security-tab of dns-zones. cannot find group in clean , brand new deployed test-lab! or group somewhere set deep in configuration , cannot modified?
  3. if have set manually rights dns-zones -> rights have setup , account/group?
  4. regarding delay @ creating dns-entries...is there possibility check if there queue?

what can do?!

every appreciated!
thank you

hi miranda,

in answer questions:

1) user account shouldn't in group, dhcp server/s.

2) ad group , membership managed you'd manage other group.

3) shouldn't need this.

4) i'm not sure on one, i'd have check.

is problem affecting non-windows machines or some?  can please check have name protection enable (it should default believe) - https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd759188(v=ws.11).aspx.  if enabled , non-windows machines have same hostnames windows machines, prevent them getting registered in dns.  

if try , register non-windows client in dns, there local dns on site can connect to see if update has appeared?
