Sweet DNS

This how-to video on Microsoft Windows Server 2008 domain name service (DNS), shows the different zone types and replication. There are three different zone types. Primary Zone:This is for the domain controller in charge of the domain. This machine updates the records for the domain. Secondary zone: This machine merely hosts the domain. It does not update the zone. It receives all the updates, but can not update the zone. Stub zone: The machine that hosts a stub zone will have Start of Authority (SOA), name server (NS) records for another domain. That’s all. It remembers who’s in charge and who can answer queries against the domain. It’s a low maintenance solution for DNS resolution of another domain. There are four types of replications Allow replication to all DNS servers on domain controllers in this forest. Allow replication to all DNS servers on domain controllers in this domain Allow replication to all domain controllers in this domain (Windows 2000 compatibility mode) Allow replication to all domain controllers specified in a specified directory partition. This video also works on Server 2003. We so frequently DNS with Active Directory, we forget that it is a full featured service on its own. This video is just one aspect of many features available from Windows DNS. Providing training videos since last Tuesday. technoblogical.com Thanks for watching.
