PDQ inventory doesn't update IP address

Hi,

I've configured VPN connections for my users (IKEv2 Ipsec). Routing is set between these two networks:

10.2.0.0/24 - Local network

10.11.11.0/24 - VPN network

The IP address of user connected via VPN is updated immidiately after connecting  on Windows server DNS server: 

But it is not updated in PDQ inventory (even after a few minutes of waiting)

There is always one record A for my test user, which is updated during switching the networks.

How can i solve this problem ? Is there any way to store a few DNS entries for one computer ? I ticked option "Test multiple Addresses in Name Resolution", but i have only one A record which is constantly updating, and which is outdated in Inventory.

 

Best Regards,

JŻ

    Jaromir,

    Can you test if clearing the DNS resolver cache on your PDQ server causes it to look at the newest A record for that computer?

    Hi Luke,

    I solved this problem by changing IKEv2 VPN connection settings:

    First option is "Register adresses for this connection in DNS", Second one "Use DNS suffix for this connection for DNS registration". During testing and switching between LAN and VPN (through phone WIFI) the IP addresses in PDQ Inventory was updates with ~5 minutes latency (despite being updated immidiately after setting/changing connection in DNS) . I think it's enough, so i won't investigate this problem any longer ;)

    Is there a way to push "Register adresses for this connection in DNS" via PDQ Deploy or GPO ?

    Hi,

    I belive you can create or find powershell script which actually does it, but from my research i can say they won't work until the (vpn) connection is active. I also heard that people try to push gpo with scheduled task, which run the script after the connection has been activated.
