tguy Posted December 22, 2004 Share Posted December 22, 2004 If the record still persists in DNS you could use the DNSCMD.EXE utility from the resource kit to flush it. DNSCMD /RECORDDELETE.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tguy Posted December 29, 2004 Share Posted December 29, 2004 Are you looking at DNS records on a server that is either Active Directory integrated? In this case you need to make sure that the record you want to remove is deleted from all domain controllers DNS zones and then flushed from the cache,OR Are you looking at DNS records on a server that is a secondary server for the DNS zone that holds the record you are trying to delete? In this situation, you need to delete the record from the primary DNS server and flush it from the cache. The changes will then propagate out to the secondary servers.Good luck.
