When any records are orphaned, dynamic DNS on a Windows 2000-based server does not age these records by renaming them or by moving computers to different subnets out of their zones, unless the server is configured to perform this task. Orphans can occur if a group of computers are installed from an image, and then renamed at a later time on another subnet. The reverse look up pointers may not be deleted if the computer is disconnected from the network immediately after the installation. The automatic deletion of these records is possible by enabling the Aging and Scavenging feature on the DNS server.
