then put unzipped text files up on OneDrive and share a link.
(sorry but I draw the line in sand at executing unknown files from unknown sources)
Unable to as previously stated, our onedrive has it restricted.
Just setup a private account, see if this works

Thanks for all your assistance. Idiot mode for me!!
On checking/trying the dns settings within the router, it requires a reboot.
Done some other jobs and guess what, all fine now. - RoddersAug 12, 2020Copper Contributor
Hi Dave
I had a thought overnight and checked the router (as suggested). Now i'm confused. I would say the DHCP is running off the router, rather than the server (or at least it looks like it possibly is). Although there are records within the DNS on the server for devices. I did add the server ip to the secondary dns, just to see if it was picked up but couldn't see anything, so removed again.
I'm getting so confused because if that was the case, why adding the server address to the DNS settings on a client, makes this particular software (AVG) to update. Any other access to the network/internet is fine!!
So confused, what i dont want to do is is knock out a live system. Really above me this but must keep trying i guess
Thanks again for your continued support.

TCP01 still appears to have the router (192.168.250.1) listed for DNS
Asset101512 there's two choices. 1.) set the addressing static 2.) set the router to hand out 192.168.250.250 for DNS

Thanks again for your continued help, very much appricated
I've removed the router IP from the server nic and run the commands along with restarting netlogon. NSlookup on the server is instant now with the correct details
Not entirely sure on the 'router setup for dchp' bit. Unfortuantly the clients still showing google.
Got to love someone elses setup & job!!! Been a nightmare getting it to work as it does
I've attached an updated set of files
Thanks Again

On TCP01 remove the router address from DNS then do ipconfig /flushdns, ipconfig /registerdns and restart the netlogon service.
Asset101512 is using the router for DHCP which can be done but the DHCP server must hand out the static ip address of domain controller (192.168.250.250) for DNS and no others such as router or public DNS
I didn't look at other files since these ones are both show stoppers. If problems persist then put up a new set of files to look at.

Then setup a new one. If that isn't possible then I'd suggest start a case here with product support.
