In Win2k, dynamic updates are turned ON by default.
You can disable DDNS from a Win2k workstation; see the list
archives at isc.org for details.  But there are cases where a Win2k
Domain Controller MUST have DDNS (self-registration) enabled.

For all of those who are implementing (i.e., struggling with) Win2k
please check the list archives.  There have been a lot of postings
concerning DDNS and Win2k over the past 1.5 years.  I know that 99%
of you who read this posting already know this.  But the 99% of the
people who need this information will NEVER search the achives before
posting.
