Is there a way to deny a specific device from dynaically registering in DNS.
We have dhcp registering machines on behalf of the client but a VPN server we
don't manage is registering in DNS also. Can we stop that regisration in DNS
without touching the RAS box ? Is a windows 2003 ras box.

If you implement "secure dynamic updates only" you can probably
arrange this -- perhaps trivially.

"Secure dynamic updates only" require that you use a DC as an
AD Integrated primary.

This will prevent all non-domain/forest machines from registering
since authentication is required for that (technically it defeats it
for all domains machines not trusted by the DC-DNS server domain,
and for for all non-domain machines.)

If the VPN server is actually a Windows VPN server IN the domain
you will have to work harder -- perhaps putting in a dummy record
OR a "proper record" for the device in question and using a specific
account (perhaps one of the AD editors or a program to do this.)

One way is to use a 3rd party tool, such as QIP or MetaIP.
