Server 2008 RRAS Internal adaptor causing duplicate DNS entry for host

I have Server 2008 configured with AD, DNS, DHCP and Routing and Remote Access.  The Server is set-up with a static IP address 192.168.127.2 and the DHCP allocates addresses in the range 192.168.127.100/199 to clients.  The RRAS is automatically configured with three adaptors "Loopback" (127.0.0.1), "Local Area Connection" (192.168.127.2) and "Internal" (192.168.127.112 allocated by DHCP).
The problem is that there are two entries created in DNS for the host, MYSERVER 192.168.127.2 and MYSERVER 192.168.127.112.  This cause a problem with the client computers when they do a DNS lookup in that the MYSERVER ip address is sometimes returned as 192.168.127.112 at logon causing network shares assignment in the logon script to fail (among others).  If the DNS entry is deleted manually everything functions again for a while until the DNS entry is mysteriously created again.
Can anyone help???

I agree with Bill, you should not run RRAS service on DC.
If you need workaround
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters\Adapters\<Interface name>\MaxNumberOfAddressesToRegister
Data type: REG_DWORD
Range: 0x0 - 0xFFFFFFFF
This setting determines the maximum number of IP addresses that can be registered in DNS for this adaptor.
If the value of this entry is 0, IP addresses cannot be registered for this adaptor.
OR
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters\Interfaces\<Interface name>\DisableDynamicUpdate
0      Enables DNS update registration
1      Disables DNS update registration
Please place one of above registry key for adapter that you don't want to register in DNS.
Hope this helps.

  • DNS entry for DC not dynamically updating (Server 2008 R2)

    Windows Server 2008 R2. I've got a single DC (I'm preparing to install the 2nd in the next few days). The host (A) record for the DC shows to be static for some reason. I changed the name of the DC recently, then brought down the Exchange server and rebooted
    and it successfully connected again. I might have entered in a static DNS entry for the new server name before renaming the server, but I'm not sure.
    I've tried to delete the static DNS record for the DC and then reload, but it continues to appear as a static entry. The mail server's DNS record still appears as a dynamic entry.
    What am I doing wrong?

    Hello,
    Like Mike suggested, it is normal that it is a static record.
    However, if your DC with its new name is not updating its DNS record, check that "Register this connection' addresses in DNS" is checked on the DC's adapter and then run
    ipconfig /registerdns using an elevated prompt.

  • Servermgr_dns: no reverse DNS entry for server

    Hi all,
    After installing and configuring OS X Server, Tiger, I realized I had given the machine the wrong IP-address. After changing it, I'm getting the following errors every half hour:
    Jun 28 12:54:26 g4 servermgrd: servermgr_dns: no name available via DNS for 10.0.0.3
    Jun 28 12:54:26 g4 servermgrd: servermgr_dns: no reverse DNS entry for server, various services may not function properly
    Can anyone enlighten me, as to wether this is something serious or not. The server is running fine, so it isn't mission critical, but you know, nobody likes error messages

    NAME
    changeip -- Change IP adress related configuration.
    SYNOPSIS
    changeip -checkhostname
    changeip [directory-node | -] old-ip new-ip [old-hostname new-hostname]
    DESCRIPTION
    changeip is used to update configuration records when a server's IP
    address changes or check/fix the hostname of the server. It needs to be
    run by root on the machine who's IP address is changing. If the machine
    is hosting a parent directory (NetInfo or LDAP) or is connected to a par-
    ent directory, then the Open Directory path to the node must be used (eg
    /LDAPv3/192.12.0.43). Otherwise use a dash ("-") for the directory node
    argument. The tool may prompt for an admin user name and password for
    the directory node. After the tool has successfully completed, change
    the network settings in the Network Control Panel and reboot the server.
    </pre>
    you need to run this when you change your servers ip
    hope this helps.

  • Allocating a (local/in-house) IP address and DNS entry for a cabled Ethernet printer

    I have an MI424WR Fios modem/wireless router.  I have a laser printer connected to it using standard CAT-5 cabling.
    I have tried several times to create a persistent enough IP address so that I can configure a Windows (Windows 7 and Windows 8) printer and printer port and get it to work over time.  On ever other router I've had, I was able to configure a static IP address and configure a local DNS entry for it (which meant I could just configure printer ports looking for http://colorlaser - very easy to remember)
    I think I have it working, then I leave it for a few days and the IP address evaporates and the driver stops working.  The MI424WR advanced menus are nearly indecipherable (compared to *every* other home router I've ever used) and I'm running out of curse words to use when trying to get this to work.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks
    Flydog
    (PS: I'm very impressed that your "Spell Check" refuses to recognize "Fios")

    I've solved this exact issue by configuring a static DHCP lease in the router for the printer.  This way, I don't have to change any settings in the printer; which can be difficult depending on how the printer is configured.
    Yes, I agree that the Actiontec router has a rather unfriendly interface.  However, it is quite powerful once you figure out where everything is hidden.
    Here's the process to setup a static DHCP lease for a printer (or any other device):
    Make sure your printer is on and assigned an IP address.
    Login to router
    Click "My Network" in the top banner menu.
    Click "Network Connections" in the left hand menu.
    Click "Network (home/office)" in the Network Connections box.
    Click "IP Address Distribution" in the Network (home/office) Properties box.  Note it is hard to notice this is a link - click on the words.
    Click on the "Connection List" button at the bottom of the IP Address Distribution Box.
    Locate your printer in the list.  The host-name may be something assigned by the router.
    Click on the edit button in the Action column for the printer.  The edit button is the center icon with a pencil on it.
    Click the "Static Lease Type" checkbox.
    Click Apply.
    Click the edit button for the printer's DHCP entry AGAIN.
    Now, you can set the IP address to any value within the router's DHCP range.  You may also want to change the host name to something that make sense to you.
    You can also try the "New Static Connection" at the bottom of the DHCP connection window, however I've not had much luck with it.
    Good Luck!

  • DHCP-Server (2008 R2) is not updating Reverse-DNS-Pointer

    Hi there,
    we have a 2008 R2 DHCP running. The DHCP is using an user which is member of "DnsUpdateProxy"-AD-Group to create, update and delete DNS-entries. Also the Option "Always dynamically update dns A and ptr records"
    is set!
    Now I have a strange behavior, that the Forward-DNS-Entries are created and updated correctly, but not the Reverse-Entries. There are no Errors in the DHCP-Log regarding problems with registering DNS-entries...
    What should I check?!
    Regards
    Miranda

    Hi,
    Thanks for your share.
    In general, DNS Reverse Lookup Zone is not created automatically. In addition,  does the Reverse-Zone you mentioned mean DNS Reverse Lookup Zone? If yes, I am sorry to say that I have never heard a way can achieve that. Maybe a script or command can
    do that.
    Best regards,
    Susie

  • Macbook clients cannot connect to Windows Server 2008 RRAS with L2TP/IPSec

    Hi everyone,
    I had installed "Remote and Routing Access" or a VPN server on Windows Server 2008. The connection type set up is L2TP/IPSec. All the Windows clients can connect to the L2TP/IPSec VPN server without problem but Macbook users are facing problem.
    The Macbook users got the error message "The L2TP-VPN server did not respond. Try reconnecting. If the problem continues, verify your settings and contact your Administrator."
    I think it is something related to the pre-shared key encryption but I am not sure. The Macbook users could connect if the connection type is changed to PPTP on server and clients side. I searched for similar problems and solutions online but no luck, I couldn't find solution that helps. I found this is a common problem faced by many macbook users.
    Does anyone have a solution or suggestion for this, please? I appreciate all the helps and suggestion given.
    Thanks,
    CK

    Hi,
    Thanks for the question, however, this forum is for Remote Desktop Clients related questions.
    Regarding the issue, as Windows clients can connect with no problem, I suspect that it is a Mac side issue and I would like to suggest you contact Apple support for help.
    Thanks.

  • Lync Server 2013 STD pool pairing - certificate questions & DNS entries

    Hi guys!
    We are thinking about paired pools scenario, but we have one question regarding about certificates requriments on 2nd std pool lync server.
    Our current (and only one) front end server (std edition) has this certificate entries:
    CN=lync.domain.local
    DNS Name=lync.domain.local
    DNS Name=sip.domain.com
    DNS Name=admin.domain.local
    DNS Name=LyncdiscoverInternal.domain.com
    DNS Name=lyncreverseproxy.domain.com
    DNS Name=Lyncdiscover.domain.com
    DNS Name=dialin.domain.local
    DNS Name=meet.domain.com
    which certificate entries should then have a paired std pool lync server?
    bostjanc

    Are you talking about the default cert assigned to the Lync Front Ends or the public certs?
    If you are talking about the Lync Front End default cert (and you are using an internal CA) then simply get the second Lync Front End servers cert using STEP 3 of deployment wizard.
    Assuming the FQDN of the 2nd std edition is lyncFE2.domain.local, it should look something like this:
    CN=lyncFE2.domain.local
    DNS Name=lyncFE2.domain.local                      - Front End #2 FQDN
    DNS Name=sip.domain.com                              - for Lync Phone Edition (2 x DNS entries, 1 to each FE)
    DNS Name=admin.domain.local                        - CSCP  (2 x DNS entries, 1 to each FE)
    DNS Name=LyncdiscoverInternal.domain.com  - mobile clients  (2 x DNS entries, 1 to each FE)
    DNS Name=Lyncdiscover.domain.com               - mobile clients
    DNS Name=lyncreverseproxy.domain.com        - External Lync web services 
    DNS Name=dialin.domain.com (assume the .local was a typo?)
    DNS Name=meet.domain.com                          - both meet and dialin (2 x DNS entries, 1 to each FE)

  • Server 2008 R2 with WSUS need to specify location for Feature install for Server 2012 and Windows 8

    Having a problem where we need to add .net 3.5, amongst other things, in server 2012 and windows 8.1.  We're using WSUS on server 2008 R2, so when I go to add roles or features, I'm not able to as it tries to use Windows Update but it's set to use WSUS.
    I'm aware in server 2012 gpo's that you enable the policy 'specify settings for optional component installation and component repair' in Administrative Templates>System, however that setting is not available in Server 2008 R2.
    I've downloaded the templates from http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=36991 but the setting is still not there.
    Any suggestions on how to do this/allow feature install with Server 2008 R2?

    Hi,
    To upgrade the Administrative Templates, please run the downloaded msi file, then copy the needed admx files and adml files to the PolicyDefinitions folder.

  • Server 2008 Domain Controller won't sync with domain for time

    Hi,
    I have a Windows Server 2008 Domain Controller, a physical machine. When I run w32tm /query /status it shows the source as: Local CMOS clock. What ever I seem to try I cannot get it to look at the PDC to sync for time. Using RsOP I can see the correct policy
    is in place, pointing to the correct server. I have checked the registry key and the correct server is in there under \HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\W32Time\Paramaters.
    I have tried various w32tm commands such as seeting the /manualpeerlist to the correct server, /syncfromflags:DOMHIER. I have also used w32tm /config /update, making sure to restart the w32time service.
    But whatever I do I cannot get it to sync from the network, it always shows Local CMOS clock. The time on the server is starting to drift now. When I use w32tm /resync /rediscover I get an error message:  "The computer did not resync because no time
    data was available". There is no firewall between the 2 servers blocking port 123.
    Any ideas why this is happening?

  • DNS Entry for User link Versus Admin Link

    I have been asked to create easy links for end users to access their user settings in BOTH Unity Connection and Unifed Personal Communicator.
    For example...
    I want a DNS entry called -- voicemail.  When an end user types that in to a web browser I want it to take them to
    https://ipt-connection1:8443/ciscopca/
    I can only figure out via DNS how to get them to
    http://ipt-connection1/
    I remember back in my days of Windows NT 4.0 I could specify IIS to reconzie what it was being passed and redirect but I have not found a document or option to do this in BOTH Unity Connection and Unifed Personal Cummunicator.
    BOTH Unity Connection and Unifed Personal Communicator are at version 8.6
    Thanks in advance for any guidence.
    Del

    You would need to create user-friendly DNS entries (e.g. https://voicemail ), resolve them to another server that you can modify the IIS/Apache configuration of, and cause it to perform an HTTP redirect to the correct URL for the user. You have no OS access so there is no method for you to modify Apache/Tomcat as you used to with IIS.

  • Fixing duplicate database entries for the same audio file

    My iTunes Media folder is stored on a network accessible storage server. Since upgrading to 11.1.x, my computer seems to be duplicating database entries for the same audio files - for some albums, I have 4 entries for every song, each one pointing to the exact same file. The only difference between entries is rating info and play counts, which are specific to a particular entry (I think). Has anyone else seen this behavior? Is there an obvious way to stop this from happening? I can delete and rebuild the database from media files, but that starts getting old if I have to do it every week or so. Is there a script to delete duplicate database entries? (I found a VB script on the iTunes for Windows community, but the offending machine is a Mac).
    Thank you for any assistance!

  • Reason: 5.3.0 - Other mail system problem ('550', ['non-existent reverse DNS entry for X.X.X.X

    We have configured a ESA for a customer whose appliance was broken down because of a software problem and being replaced with a new one by cisco.
    Today we have a big problem about Reverse DNS. When they send email to their customers, the remote mail servers reject their messages. I double check the configuration and haven’t found anything. If we route mail traffic over exchange instead of ironport, there aren’t any problem. The broken device worked about 6 months without being connected. Also, the remote server sends a message like:
    Diagnostic information for administrators:
    Generating server: mail.xyz.com.tr
    [email protected]
    [89.19.0.217] #<[89.19.0.217] #5.0.0 smtp; 5.1.0 - Unknown address error 554-'This server requires PTR for unauthenticated connections.' (delivery attempts: 0)> #SMTP#
    Has anyone come across this type of problem or error code?

    Please check the IP address from which the mail is being delivered to the remote server. This address might differ when the mail is routed through the exchange and through IronPort.
    Most probably, the issue could be because of PTR record of the IP address( that IronPort is using to send the mail) is not registered in the DNS or it is not matching with the domain name. Was there any change in the Network configuration on the new ESA compared to the broken down ESA?

    I hesitate to mark this as solved however - it's a functioning workaround, but does nothing to explain why on earth the GUI suddenly stopped functioning.
    But in the (likely) event that that question never gets answered, thanks again for letting me get on with working!
