Computers with multiple DNS entries = Problem
I have some laptops that are connecting up to the network both through their wireless connection and through their wired connection when docked. This results in two entries in DNS for the same computer. I will very frequently see the wireless iP (10.x.5.x) in inventory when they are docked (should be a 10.x.1.x IP). This causes problems with deployments all the time.
I try bouncing the DNS Client service on the inventory/deploy server and that seems to help a little, but it always seems to go right back to the same problem. In order to get deploy to work right with my laptop, I have to go and actually delete the records out of DNS so that there is only one per endpoint.
Is there a solution to this (either on your end or mine) that we can work on implementing?

That's more a DNS issue than a PDQ issue - have a read of this:

I know this is an old post - but this is exactly my issue. I am trying out Inventory and it works great, except for my laptops that connect both wirelessly and wired. The scans fail when DNS on the server has not updated to the 'live' ip address. I hope there is an answer since I don't see many other posts about this.
Thanks.
