SUMMARY
This article describes the Dynamic DNS properties tab in Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP).



MORE INFORMATION
To find this tab:
 * 1) Start the DHCP Microsoft Management Console (MMC) snap-in.
 * 2) Right-click the DHCP icon, and then click Add Server.
 * 3) After the wizard starts and the first dialog box is displayed, click Next.
 * 4) Type the IP address of the server you want to manage, and then click Next.
 * 5) After the server is located and the wizard summary screen is displayed, click Finish.
 * 6) Click the plus sign (+) next to the server to expand the property tree.
 * 7) Right-click the server, and then click Properties.
 * 8) Click the Dynamic DNS tab.

The dialog box that is displayed contains the following options for handling client registrations:
 * The first option (Update According to Client Request) tells the DHCP server to only update the DNS server if the client requests an update.
 * The second option forces all clients to let the DHCP server update on behalf of the client, regardless of client settings.

Two additional options are displayed in this dialog box:
 * Discard Forward Lookups When Leases Expire

Instructs the DHCP server to send a registration remove request to the Dynamic DNS server when the DHCP client's lease is expired.
 * Do Updates of Non-Dynamic DNS Clients

Is important to use in the situation of clients that are not Dynamic DNS aware (for example, any Microsoft operating system prior to Windows 2000).
