SUPPORT SOLUTION:
Consider the following scenario:You configure two DNS servers in a domain.You create Active Directory-integrated DNS zones, and then you enable dynamic update on both DNS servers.You join a computer that is running one of the following operating systems to the domain:Windows VistaWindows Server 2008Windows 7Windows Server 2008 R2 You configure the computer to use one of the DNS servers in the domain. You change the DNS server assignment of the computer to the other DNS server in the domain.You perform one of the following operations on the client computer:You restart the computer.You restart the DNS client service. You run the ipconfig /registerdns command.In this scenario, the DNS Host record of the computer is deleted from the DNS server. Therefore, name resolution issues occur. For example, you change the DNS server assignment of an Exchange server. Subsequently, the Host record of the Exchange server is deleted. In this scenario, users cannot connect to the Exchange server. This issue occurs because of an issue in the DNS Client service. When the DNS server configuration information is changed on a client, the DNS Client service deletes the DNS host record of the client from the old DNS server and then adds it to the new DNS server. Because the DNS record is present on the new server that is a part of the same domain, the record is not updated. However, the old DNS server replicates the deletion operation to the new DNS server and to other DNS servers. Therefore, the new DNS server deletes the record, and the record is deleted across the domain. Hotfix information
