Data type	Range	Default value
REG_DWORD	0 \| 1	0

Description

Determines whether the DNS server builds A records for temporary IP addresses produced by Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA). This entry applies only when the DNS server is building A records for the computer on which it is running.

APIPA is designed for computers on single-subnet networks that do not include a DHCP server. APIPA automatically assigns an IP address from its reserved range, 169.254.0.01 through 169-254.255.254. These IP addresses, commonly known as autonet addresses, are used only until the system finds a DHCP server. APIPA addresses cannot be used on the Internet.

Value	Meaning
0	Exclude APIPA addresses.
1	Include APIPA addresses.

Activation method

DNS reads its registry entries only when it starts. If you change entries by editing the registry, the changes are not effective until you restart the DNS server.

Note Image Note

The DNS server does not add this entry to the registry. You can add it by editing the registry or by using a program that edits the registry.
