Symptoms

Consider the following scenario:

  • You have a Domain Name System (DNS) server that supports secure dynamic updates.

  • The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) Server role is installed on a computer that is running Windows Server 2008 R2 or Windows Server 2012.

  • You click the DNS tab on the Properties dialog box for the DHCP server. Then, you click to select the Dynamically update DNS A and PTR records only if requested by the DHCP clients check box. This setting is applied at the server and scope level.

  • You create a DHCP reservation, and then you click the DNS tab on the Properties dialog box for the reservation. Then, you click to select the Always dynamically update DNS A and PTR records check box.

  • You click the General tab on the Properties dialog box for the reservation, and then you change the settings.


In this scenario, the DNS settings of the DHCP reservation revert to the DNS settings that you applied for the DHCP server at the scope level. Additionally, the DHCP server deletes and then recreates the reservation.
