Hello Everyone,

I run a freeipa server that allows users to login to linux (ubuntu) hosts. These hosts also have windows 10 in them in dual boot mode. Hence I also run an active directory server, with DHCP. This windows DHCP server also provides IP addresses to the hosts when they boot into ubuntu. This setup works fine except that when the hosts are given a different IP address they do not update the IPA server's DNS with their newly acquired IP address.

When installing ipa on the clients, I had added the --enable-dns-updates option and setup was smooth without any issues.

Any help in this will be highly appreciated.
