Caching Lesson INSTALL AND CONFIGURE DOMAIN NAME SYSTEM (DNS) INSTALLATION CONFIGURING DNS After installing DNS, you have to go Start —> All Programs —> Administrative Tools —> DNS for managing DNS server. Whenever configuring your DNS server, you must be know about following concepts: Forward lookup zone Reverse lookup zone Zone types A forward lookup zone is helps to resolve host names to IP addresses. A reverse lookup zone allows a DNS server to discover the DNS name of the host. Basically, it is the exact opposite of a forward lookup zone. A reverse lookup zone is not required, but it is easy to configure and will allow for your Windows Server 2008 Server to have full DNS functionality. 2 When selecting a DNS zone type, you have the following options: Active Directory (AD) Integrated, Standard Primary, and Standard Secondary. AD Integrated stores the database information in AD and allows for secure updates to the database file. This option will appear only if AD is configured. If it is configured and you select this option, AD will store and replicate your zone files. A Standard Primary zone stores the database in a text file. This text file can be shared with other DNS servers that store their information in a text file. Finally, a Standard Secondary zone simply creates a copy of the existing database from another DNS server. This is primarily used for load balancing. Step 6: Click Next on the Zone File Name. 3 Step 7: Select the Allow both nonsecure and Secure dynamic updates and click Next to Continue. Step 8: Select Yes, I want to create reverse lookup zone now, Click Next to continue. Step 10: Select Primary Zone in Zone creating Window. Step 13: Click Next on the Reverse lookup Zone file name window. Step 14: Select the Allow both nonsecure and Secure dynamic updates and click Next to Continue. Managing DNS Server: After the installation and configuration of the forward and reverse lookup zone, now the server is ready to create the other records associated with the DNS and Zones. There are several records available, here is the listing of some of the important records. Start of Authority (SOA) Name Servers Host (A) Pointer (PTR) Canonical Name (CNAME) or Alias Mail Exchange (MX) 4 ENGAGEMENT Activities Directions: Fill in the blanks the missing words. Steps to install DNS Server ASSIMILATION Wrap Up DOMAIN NAME SYSTEM (DNS) INSTALLATION AND CONFIGURATION Windows administrators use DNS server to the Domain Name System (DNS) in a hierarchical distributed naming system for computers, services, or any resource connected to the Internet or a private network. It associates various of information with domain names assigned to each of the participating entities. Most importantly, it translates domain names meaningful to humans into the numerical identifiers associated with networking equipment for the purpose of locating and addressing these devices worldwide. Before using, we need to install the DNS server and configuring the following concepts: Forward lookup zone Reverse lookup zone Zone types 5 REFLECTION Valuing We have learned How to configure and install Domain Name System (DNS), briefly discuss each step on your own ideas. ________________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________________ Post Test TRUE or FALSE Directions: Read each statement below carefully.
