Windows DNS Zone Demonstration

[@tony6626]

Still relevant to this day and fundamental information that is missed in training. Always loved your videos and regularly come back to them for a refresher. Thanks so much for sharing.

[@itfreetraining]

I appreciate that!

[@davidadams2395]

Fantastic video! But I'll have to watch again just to fully integrate the information, as you cover much that's above my head. I'm only just learning server administration and, though DNS is straightforward, there is a lot of information to learn.

[@itfreetraining]

+David Adams There is quite a lot to Windows Server so do not worry. Thanks for watching!

[@muhammadsafdar189]

Indeed, the best video i have ever seen on dns. Thank you soo much for sharing such quality info with us free of cast

[@itfreetraining]

Glad you liked it

[@eliaszeray7981]

[@littleboygir]

Another great video!!

[@itfreetraining]

+Christopher Bell Thanks very much!

[@aualex1472]

great video! May I ask two questions please? 1.How do I setup a secondary domain with DNS server which replicate the primary dc? 2. If I setup 2 primary zones in forward zone, the host A record will be updated on both or it will be updated on one of them only (Assuming i have a host desktop resolved a www.google.com via the dns server) Thanks

[@itfreetraining]

Au Alex If you are using Active Directory Integrated zones, each DNS install on a Domain Controller will have a primary zone. These will replicate automatically to all other server using Active Directory replication. When you configure a secondary zone, it will ask which server you want to replicate from. You can change it later on if you need to.

[@harryelow]

GREAT video!

[@itfreetraining]

+Series Thanks!

[@sunil122345]

How can DNS validate whether that particular name server is an Authoritative server or not. Since you got an error while adding a name server "The server with this IP addresses is not an authoritative for the required zone" I'm bit confused here.

[@itfreetraining]

Sunil Kumar In the DNS zone there is an SOA record. This record defines the authority DNS server.

[@truthoflife4378]

Well explained keep I li up!

[@itfreetraining]

Thanks, will do!

[@calebpanahon6187]

Hi Sir, Correct me please if Im wrong.. Can we consider this secondary zone as our alternate dns server since it holds the up to date copy of zone file? Thank you very much for this videos.

[@itfreetraining]

Yes you can. Assuming it is up to date it can answer queries just as well as the primary can. It is quite common for one of the DNS servers on a client to be configured to the primary and the other DNS server configured to a secondary DNS server. Or both configured on the client to secondary DNS servers, depending on how your network is setup.

[@k.chriscaldwell4141]

Thank you. Would it be possible to publish somewhere the configuration of the test network used in this video? I would like to replicate it in my lab. I have become lost stopping and starting to attempt the configuration of my network to duplicate yours. Regardless, thank you for the tutorial.

[@itfreetraining]

Here is the network map itfreetraining.com/handouts/lab/network-map.pdf If you want to set up a virtual home router, have a look at our home router course. itfreetraining.com/lab/index

[@k.chriscaldwell4141]

Thanks so much. Cheers.

[@fernandodicarlo2524]

Sir, what is the video about "DHCP provides updates to client that cannot use secure update"?

[@itfreetraining]

+Fernando Di Carlo The video series on DHCP has not been released yet.

[@tytyprada]

@@itfreetraining Is the DHCP course coming out?

[@Construction-agencyCoUk]

Great vid

You're most welcome!

DNS is running on Windows Server 2012 or Windows Server 2012 R2. Windows 8 is only used to perform remote administration. The procedure used in this demo will work on Windows Server 2000, 2003, 2008, 2012 as nothing in DNS and changed. I guess we could put something at the start of the video saying the video applies to all OS's. We will update the playlist and web site once enough of the DNS course is done. We got to many complains about releasing the intro videos before the course was finished.
