Okay, 2 servers running DNS, AD Integrated accepting
secure updates.

New machine boots up, registers with primary DNS.
IP changes a few hours later (moved to differant VLAN)
Secondary DNS server does not pick up the change.

Also, old DNS entries never go away.

I also notice that old machine accounts stay forever in AD
as well.

Any clues?

For DNS you can use the scavenging feature to remove expired data.


For machine accounts, just manually delete them. Read more and how to here
if you have many inactive accounts or not sure which are inactive or not:
