Win2k DNS/DHCP

[Carlos Cantu/Boulder/IBM]

I don't think NT4 has any support for dynamic DNS.  As for 2000, I haven't
tested the DHCP server for complete compliance with 2136, but it seems to
do what I need.  That is, if my machine is not FQDN-option aware, do the
DDNS
for them.

One thing I've seen is that if the client does send the FQDN option, say
with "clientName.wuzzup.com"; and the server is set to assign
"ugly_120_21.wuzzup.com", the client wins.  My work schedule has not given
me time to install BIND on my AIX or Linux machines, so I can't speak of
interop.

Any objective opinions about Windows 2000 DNS/DHCP, specifically with
respect to dynamic dns, security, and the overal adherance to
standards?  Not looking to start a war over this, it's just that I never
thought much of NT 4's implementation so I'm wondering if it's gotten
any better w/ 2k.  Thanks.
