I object this, since it is one of the most annoying default behaviours of Windows. It is the first thing I disable on all clients -- I have a static name mapping, why should I update the DNS zone? Quite frankly, I wouldn't be surprised if the number of zones where the host update request is ignored far outweights the number of configurations where it is wanted. At least Bind sometimes like to whine about it.
