Integrate win2003 DNS into your DNS domain

  
                

The new Windows Server 2003 DNS server provides local name resolution services for Windows Server 2003 clients and servers while working effectively with existing DNS server environments. To create a new Windows Server 2003 DNS server, you must have Windows Server 2003 installed on a networked server. By default, DNS is not installed during the installation of Windows Server 2003. You must have DNS installed on the server. You can install the Windows Server 2003 DNS service during the installation of a Windows Server 2003 product, or you can install it after the initial installation.

Install the Windows Server 2003 DNS service on a server running Windows Server 2003

Click Start, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel.

Double-click “Add or Remove Programs>, then click “Add/Remove Windows Components”.

In the "Windows Components Wizard", click Network Services in the Components list, and then click Details.

In the Network Service, if the "Domain Name System (DNS)" check box is not already selected, click to select the check box, and then click OK.

In the "Windows Components Wizard", click Next. When prompted, insert the Windows Server 2003 CD-ROM into your computer's CD-ROM drive. The installer copies the DNS server and tool files to your computer.

When the installation is complete, click Finish.

Integrating Windows Server 2003 DNS into your DNS domain

If you already have a DNS domain and DNS structure in your environment and you don't have Active Directory open, you can use an existing DNS domain and Some areas are delegated to this server. In some cases, use an existing DNS domain, such as a program running on a computer that requires a DNS lookup that is not supported by an existing DNS server, such as a DNS service (SRV) record lookup. To complete the next step, you must first install the Windows Server 2003 DNS server.

If an existing DNS server in your organization cannot find SRV records (and cannot upgrade to perform this task), you can integrate Windows Server 2003 DNS servers directly into your existing DNS zone. To do this, you can delegate certain areas to a Windows Server 2003 DNS server. Other steps include creating a new zone on a Windows Server 2003 DNS server for a specific zone on another DNS server, and opening a new zone for dynamic updates.

Delegate a zone to a DNS server using the Configure DNS Server wizard

Click Start, point to Programs, click Administrative Tools, and then click DNS.

In the left pane of the console, click the DNS server object for your server, and then expand the server object to expand the tree.

Right-click the server object and click “Configure DNS Server to start “Configure DNS Server Wizard”. Click Next.

Click “Create a forward search area (recommended for small networks)", and then click Next.

Click “The ISP maintains a read-only copy of the zone and resident on this server”.

In the Zone Name dialog box, type a name for the zone.

In the Primary DNS Server dialog box, type the IP address of a known DNS server. Click Next.

Click “No, do not forward the query forward", and then click Next.

Click Finish to save the new configuration and configure the DNS server. Previous12Next page Total 2 pages
