A computer that is configured to use Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) to obtain IP addresses can automatically register its IP address and Domain Name System (DNS) name with the DNS server that is authoritative for the zone that hosts its domain. This eliminates the need for an administrator to manage host (A or AAAA) resource records for client computers. Problems with automatic registration do not prevent a computer from accessing the network, but they can prevent other network computers from being able to locate the computer.
Resolutions
Retry DNS registration:
When your computer is assigned a new network address automatically, it attempts to notify the DNS server of the change of address. A problem occurred when your computer made this attempt. Often, this is a transient condition, although it can indicate a problem with the DNS server. This condition rarely causes problems for your computer unless you share resources such as folders or printers.
Although it is not necessary, you can direct your computer to try the DNS registration again.
To perform this procedure, you must have membership in Administrators, or you must have been delegated the appropriate authority.
To register your computers address with the DNS server:
On the DNS client computer, open a command prompt. To open an elevated Command Prompt window, click Start, point to All Programs, click Accessories, right-click Command Prompt, and then click Run as administrator.
At the command prompt, type ipconfig /registerdns, and then press ENTER.
If the problem persists, contact your network administrator and provide the information in the event message. If you are a network administrator, see Troubleshooting Dynamic Updates (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=103842) for information about troubleshooting DNS registration.
