Well, kind of but not exactly. It depends.
By default, a Windows 2000 and newer statically configured machines
will register their A record (hostname) and PTR (reverse entry) into
DNS.
If set to DHCP, a Windows 2000 or newer machine will request DHCP to
allow the machine itself to register its own A record, but DHCP will
register its PTR (reverse entry) record.
However, there's more to it. Please read my blog on this process and
other options.
DHCP, Dynamic DNS Updates, Scavenging, static entries & timestamps, and
the DnsProxyUpdate Group (How to remove duplicate DNS host records):
http://msmvps.com/blogs/acefekay/arc...ate-group.aspx
You can *force* DHCP to do all the registration for you, as outlined in
my blog, but you need to address the dupe records created by either
using the DnsUpdateProxy group, or configuring credentials for DHCP to
own the records.
BUT, what *concerns* me is you stated these machines are imaged. Did
you use Sysprep, or are these machines mirror copies of a base image?
If mirrored copies, I can see what's going on - it has a duplcate SID.
