I do not want a server to auto update its IP address to DNS

I have my DNS through Windows Server. I have one server that is NATted
and I want have it's public IP address in DNS. However, when I change
the A record in DNS it changed back to the NAT IP address.

I went into the servers IP Setting page -> Advanced -> DNS -> and
unchecked "Register this connection's addresses in DNS" yet it still
keeps auto updating my DNS.

Any ideas? Thanks!

Is this a Domain Controller?
Domain Controllers use the IP on the interface that is listens on
(interfaces tab) to register the A record with its name. Changing this
behavior to register a record not physically on the DC will break
replication.
If it is not a DC and the DNS server is used strictly for Public resolution,
use the PublishAddresses value in the registry.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\DNS\Parameters

On the Edit menu, point to New, and then click String Value to add the
following registry value:
Value name: PublishAddresses
Data type: REG_SZ
Value data: IP address
