Hi Jim,

We have a similar setup here with our storage though have not yet used cobbler for windows systems as of yet. Would be happy to share information though. Most systems support dynamic DNS and therefore could register themselves. If you are using DHCP the DHCP server could also register this for you. What version of Active Directory are you using?

Subject: Cobbler and Active Directory DNS

Has anyone used cobbler to create/maintain DNS records for an Active Directory DNS server?  We are developing a Linux NAS server that will run both NFS and CIFS protocols to serve files so it will be easier to use Active Directory authentication and DNS in this setting… Sharing any experiences or ideas on how to make this work will be appreciated.
