    I have a client that is outside of the network. It hasn't got the latest Direct Access Client GPO applied, which updated the NRPT DNS for domain.local. Hence no DNS queries for internal resources are succeeding. The DA connection is up.

    I now need to manually update the NRPT so that DNS for domain.local starts working and then lets the client receive a gpupdate (with the new and correct NRPT). Possible? Tried editing the registry but got access denied.

    Might just be client restrictions..

    Hi

    Technically, NTPT entries are stored in the following registry hive : HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows NT\DnsClient\DnsPolicyConfig. Administrator level privilege is required

    My advice, perform a a backup of this registry hive, add required new entries and restart the DNSClient Service (DNSCACHE). If you made an error, event 1023 will be registred in the system log of your client computer. So you will need to delete the registry hive and use the backup to rebuild ti.

    Mery chrismas.
