DNS: Enable Aging and Scavenging


During the SCCM 2012 deployment, sometime the progress was delayed due to duplicate DNS record.

To do a housekeeping of DNS, we need to enable aging and scavenging for the DNS server.

Here you go

Applies To: Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2008 R2

  1. To open DNS Manager, click Start, click Administrative Tools, and then click DNS.
  2. In the DNS console tree, right-click the applicable DNS server, and then click Properties.
  3. Click the Advanced tab.
  4. Select the Enable automatic scavenging of stale records check box.
  5. To adjust the Scavenging period, in the drop-down list, select an interval in either hours or days, and then type a number in the text box
  6. Click OK.
