- Thread-topic: Forcing OS X NOT To Register in DNS
Odd problem here: we’re in a two-forest Active Directory environment (don’t ask): one is for development/validation activity, the other is for production. Both forests have DNS but only the “production” side has DHCP. We are attempting to bring up a
small number of OS X (10.7.x) machines in the dev/val environment. We’re forcing their registration with the dev/val DNS, but the machines are also getting entries in the production DNS because DHCP is set to automatically register any device. This is causing
problems.
On the Windows side, there is a simple checkbox on the network configuration dialog box (and some registry settings) that will prevent the Windows machine from registering with the “wrong” DNS “world”; we can select this checkbox, then specify the dev/val
DNS servers, and all is copacetic. Is there any way to accomplish the same thing on OS X? I know we can specify the dev/val DNS servers, but we need a way to prevent the OS X machines from allowing DHCP (on the production side) to automatically register
the machines with the production DNS
