Secure dynamic updates in Active Directory-integrated zones. When you enable this feature, you can prevent outdated records from remaining in DNS. The DNS Server service can scan and remove records that are no longer required. Active Directory replicates on a per-property basis and propagates only relevant changes. All DNS servers that are running on these domain controllers can act as primary servers for the zone and accept dynamic updates. Every Active Directory-integrated zone is replicated among all domain controllers in the Active Directory domain. You can integrate DNS zones into Active Directory to provide increased fault tolerance and security. Use of Active Directory directory service as a locator service for domain controllers. Windows provides the following features that are related to the DNS dynamic update protocol: You can use the DNS update functionality with DHCP to update resource records when a computer's IP address is changed. When you use this functionality, you improve DNS administration by reducing the time that it requires to manually manage zone records. The DNS service lets client computers dynamically update their resource records in DNS. For DNS servers, the DNS service permits you to enable or to disable the DNS update functionality on a per-zone basis at each server that is configured to load either a standard primary or directory-integrated zone.
Windows provides support for the dynamic update functionality as described in Request for Comments (RFC) 2136. If you use this functionality, you can reduce the requirement for manual administration of zone records, especially for clients that frequently move and use Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) to obtain an IP address. The DNS update functionality enables DNS client computers to register and to dynamically update their resource records with a DNS server whenever changes occur.
