We do that (DHCP reservations) too on some networks.  It boggles though
that a GPO setting like this, that is supposed to work, just doesn't.
I suppose I can write a script to change the DNS settings on reboot, but
I just wanted to know if anyone had encountered this problem.
Yes, Static may be antiquated, but it serves a purpose.
Yes, the IP configuration includes DNS settings, too.  No, I'm not doing
anything that would stop an update and I've rebooted several times.
 
 
Thanks,

        we're all statics here too.  But, we get there via DHCP
reservation.  setting the DNS globally is an option then.

                                Are you sending the clients DNS servers
via DHCP? Have you updated the DHCP server?

                                Hi all: 
                                I need to change the settings for DNS
servers on several PCs.  I'm trying to do this by using the GPO setting:

                                Computer Configuration/Administrative
Templates/Network/DNS Client/DNS Servers 
                                I am using two IP addresses separated by
a space. 
                                The PCs are Windows XP SP3. 

                                I've run gpresult and the policy seems
to be applying, but the DNS servers are not changed. 
                                I've done a gpupdate /force and rebooted
a couple of times. 
                                Yes, the PCs are in the correct OU where
the policy is applied. 

                                Anyone seen this before? 

                                _______________________________
