Archived from groups: microsoft.public.win2000.dns (
More info?)
Let me clarify Kevins post.
the same as parent records are helper records for DNS queries that only
specify the domain. abc.com
The query result will be a domain controller host record. I don't know the
extent to which these records are queried. I suspect they are not used
much, but would would not want to remove them and force the system to not
register them, then see what systems break.
The netlogon service is responsible for registering these records based on
the contents of the netlogon.dns file.
The netlogon.dns file is created/modified when the domain controller is
promoted or demoted. This includes promoting and demoting to GC status.
There is nothing preventing you from manually editing this file (its just a
text file) and removing the same as parent entries.
Better yet scan all your netlogon.dns files (one on every DC) to locate the
bogus record and remove it.
Then investigate why it was there in the first place.
You may find the NIC (on that DC) has 2 logical IP addresses assigned. Or
perhaps it has a loopback adapter installed with the bogus IP address.
