In some case you might need to disable dynamic update to prevent Windows Server 2008 from updating the host A record in DNS the server. Doing this from the GUI might cause the server to remove DNS registration that is manually created.
Disabling this from the registry solves this problem.
reg add hklmsystemcurrentcontrolsetservicestcpipparameters /v DisableDynamicUpdate /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f

you rock.
simple yet effective!
This doesn’t seem to work on Windows 2008 R2 SP1, does the server need a reboot for this to take affect?
