Forcing Creation Timestamp Initialization for Unchanged Records

If the attributes of a resource record do not change in the result of a DDNS update, Grid Manager ignores the update and the record’s creation timestamp remains the same. This may cause valid records with outdated timestamp to be removed during DNS scavenging. To avoid this, you can set the record creation time to be modified even when the record data do not change at DDNS update. You can do this for the whole Grid, or for a specific DNS view or authoritative zone.

To force the creation timestamp initialization for unchanged resource records:

1. Open the Grid DNS Properties, DNS View Properties, or Authoritative Zone Properties editor.
2. For a DNS view or authoritative zone, click Override.
3. Select Modify creation time even when resource record data is unchanged.
4. Click Restart in the Grid Manager’s system messages banner for the setting to take effect.
