How much memory should DNS use for 1000 computers
- Thread starter jonw757
- Start date
Are you running DNS through AD integrated zones, how long are the aging/scavenging period set to? How many servers? etc.
This depends of a variety of things however, and is not a simple question to answer. There are a lot of factors. Heck it's probably easier to test than to guess.
ADSizer may be able to help.

As far as I can tell there is none setup, if I go into properties, advanced, "enable automatic scavending of stale records is not checked.Phoenix86 said:
On this site we have 2, we also have to other remote sites in which there are 1 at each. This only seems to be happening on one of the servers here, not both.Phoenix86 said:
I think I may have found the problem from what you asked, like stated the scavenging isnt setup on this one, on the other its set to 7 days.. Makes sense, I just never looked as I am not even in the server group.

Thanks, im looking at it now!
How much memory do you have in the system? We have three domain controllers that run DNS. Each of these has 2 GB of RAM. None of them have any memory issues with scavenging turned off.
For 1000 machines, you shouldn't require scavenging. But, it's good to have it enabled for many other reasons.
