RHEL systems lose Active Directory DNS records due to DNS scavenging
Issue
- Active Directory DNS scavenging is enabled in the environment. RHEL systems integrated with Active Directory using SSSD and configured with static IP addresses successfully register DNS records during Initial domain join, System reboot, SSSD service restart. However, DNS timestamps may not be periodically refreshed afterward.
As a result, valid DNS records can become stale and may be removed by Active Directory DNS scavenging policies.
Environment
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9
- Active Directory
- System Security Service Daemon (SSSD)
- Active Directory DNS Scavenging Enabled
