Network Connect (NC) users register with DNS (MAG and SA2000)

[NJ-DRS_]

Hello.  We have both a SA2000 and a MAG2600 providing Network Connect services to our end users.  Our SA/MAG configuration is relatively simple and straight forward.  DHCP pool for NC users is local to the SSL VPN.  Users are authenticated against AD. 

However, what we would really like is for the NC users, once authenticated, to register with our AD infrastructure.  Ideally we would like the DNS entry to be username.domain-name.com. 

I've looked high and low and can't find where to do this.  And everytime my security department has a question, I'd like for them to do it independently and not need me to provide the mapping.

Thanks

I think you are referring to Dynamic Update which is a function of the Client OS and your DNS, not really the VPN. If the PC is configured to register itself in DNS then that will be done after the user starts a VPN connection. I dont know that there is a way to use the username as thecomputers hostname is always used in registration. You can run some tests by doing ipconfig /registerdns on the client to see if there are any issues. 

Hope this helps.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.  There is a check box for enabling Dynamic DNS on the Windows server   Nikhil
