Hi, I'm a newbie in Linux... I have a SuSE 10.2 DHCP and Windows 2003 DNS DC.

How to make a suse DHCP update A records onto windows DNS.
DHCP is leasing addresse ok, but no A record updates on DNS.

I'd be interested in knowing this too. I couldn't figure it out so I ended up having to hardcode the host and IP into my DNS server.

I have posted this question on 3 forums... Nobody replied...

But I figured it out... You need to configure NIC over traditional method with ifup on SuSE and point the NAME SERVER IP to W2K3. W2K3 box must be DC with DNS zone integrated in AD. I have added A record of suse manually, into DNS. Clients are XP Pro SP2 and they must be a members of domain...
A records just started to appear in DNS !

Still there is more to test, different setups, behaviors..., but we can stay in touch if ya want to to change ideas, solutions... After all you are the only one who showed any interests ...I can give you my mail... so... it's up to you now mate... cheers....

Dunno if this thread is still being looked at, but this has been bothering me for a while too. I came across this article :
[clug] Update a Windows dynamic DNS server with linux client?

Adding the
send host-name "<server>";
and
send fqdn.server-update on;

lines to /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf seems to have done it. I'm using Debian 4.0 with a Windows 2003 DNS and DHCP server. Dunno why hostname isn't sent by default.

Hope that's useful ...
