Microsoft Windows Group Policy Settings
Purpose of the Group Policy (policy name):
Register PTR Records
Path in Group Policy Manager:
Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Network\DNS Client
Supported on:
At least Microsoft Windows XP Professional or Windows Server 2003 family
Location in Registry:
HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows NT\DNSClient!RegisterReverseLookup
Description of Policy:
Determines whether the registration of PTR resource records is enabled for the computers to which this policy is applied. By default, DNS clients configured to perform dynamic DNS registration attempt PTR resource record registration only if they successfully registered the corresponding A resource record. A resource records map a host DNS name to the host IP address, and PTR resource records map the host IP address to the host DNS name. To enable this setting, click Enable, and then select one of the following values: Do not register - computers never attempt PTR resource records registration. Register - computers attempt PTR resource records registration regardless of the success of the A records registration. Register only if A record registration succeeds
