Things to note for DNS updates to occur:

1. Clients MUST ONLY use the SBS as their DNS address in ip properties. DO
NOT use an ISP's or some other DNS in their ip properties. Other problems
will result if you do.
2. The domain MUST not be a single label name. A name format of "domain.com"
or "domain.shawn" is acceptable. A name of "DOMAIN" is not.
3. Updates must be allowed on the zone, whether secured or not. If secure
updates is set, machine must be joined to the domain.
