I have a Linux Debian server running in a heterogeneous Windows environment.
The DHCP and DNS server are running on the Windows 2003 Small Business Server, which is in a AD domain.
Basically, the issue I'm having is that the dhclient on the debian box doesn't seem to be updating the DNS records and registering its hostname. I can't seem to access it by hostname, only by IP address.
hostname -f returns:
Code: Select all
proxy2.BWSRVR.CORP
Code: Select all
iface lo inet loopback
hostname proxy2.BWSRVR.CORP
I also tried using the hostname argument to /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf:
Code: Select all
send host-name "proxy2";
On the Windows server, under the DHCP snap-in, Properties, DNS, "Enable DNS dynamic updates..." is set to "Always dynamcially update DNS A and PTR records".
There is a mention of a FreeBSD box in a Windows network here and something about authentication, but I'm not sure if that's the problem here:

Is there anything else I can check on the debian or Windows server to get it to register its hostname?
Thanks,
