Requirement of dns in domain controler?
When you install Active Directory on a member server, the member server is promoted to a domain controller. Active Directory uses DNS as the location mechanism for domain controllers, enabling computers on the network to obtain IP addresses of domain controllers. During the installation of Active Directory, the service (SRV) and address (A) resource records are dynamically registered in DNS, which are necessary for the successful functionality of the domain controller locator (Locator) mechanism. To find domain controllers in a domain or forest, a client queries DNS for the SRV and A DNS resource records of the domain controller, which provide the client with the names and IP addresses of the domain controllers. In this context, the SRV and A resource records are referred to as Locator DNS resource records. When adding a domain controller to a forest, you are updating a DNS zone hosted on a DNS server with the Locator DNS resource records and identifying the domain controller. For this reason, the DNS zone must allow dynamic updates (RFC 2136) and the DNS server hosting that zone must support the SRV resource records (RFC 2782) to advertise the Active Directory directory service. For more information about RFCs, see DNS RFCs. If the DNS server hosting the authoritative DNS zone is not a server running Windows 2000 or Windows Server 2003, contact your DNS administrator to determine if the DNS server supports the required standards. If the server does not support the required standards, or the authoritative DNS zone cannot be configured to allow dynamic updates, then modification is required to your existing DNS infrastructure.
When deploying active directory with third-party dns the dns server must support what kind of records?
it needs to support SRV records.
Describe the importance of DNS to AD?
When you install Active Directory on a server, you promote the server to the role of a domain controller for a specified domain. When completing this process, you are prompted to specify a DNS domain name for the Active Directory domain for which you are joining and promoting the server.If during this process, a DNS server authoritative for the domain that you specified either cannot be located on the network or does not support the DNS dynamic update protocol, you are prompted with the option to install a DNS server. This option is provided because a DNS server is required to locate this server or other domain controllers for members of an Active Directory domain
Are the SRV records of a child domain updated automatically during Active Directory installation?
After running DCPROMO, A text file containing the appropriate DNS resource records for the domain controller is created. The file called Netlogon.dns is created in the %systemroot%\System32\config folder and contains all the records needed to register the resource records of the domain controller. Netlogon.dns is used by the Windows 2000 NetLogon service and to support Active Directory for non-Windows 2000 DNS servers. If you are using a DNS server that supports the SRV resource record but does not support dynamic updates (such as a UNIX-based DNS server or a Windows NT Server 4.0 DNS server), you can import the records in Netlogon.dns into the appropriate primary zone file to manually configure the primary zone on that server to support Active Directory. so if you are using w2k with dynamic update it will automatically create the SRV
What is require by DNS for Active Directory to function?
SRV records. SRV Records are the locator records withing DNS that allow clients to locate an Active Directory domain controller or global catalog.Source: Microsoft Windows Server 2008 Active Directory Configuration Official Academic Course Textbook.
Which one of the following types of DNS records does a domain client use to find a DC?
SRV record
What is the main purpose of SRV records?
the main purpose of srv record is to know whether the AD installation was successfull. ie we can find these records in DNS.these indicate that the AD has communicated with the DNS during it's installation
What does the acronym ''DNS SRV'' stand for?
The acronym "DNS SRV" stands for Domain Name System Service Record. "DNS" stands for "Domain Name System", while the acronym "SRV" stands for "Service Record".
How do you manually create SRV records in DNS?
this is on windows server go to run ---> dnsmgmt.msc rightclick on the zone you want to add srv record to and choose "other new record" and choose service location(srv)..... wondyrad
What mechanism within the DNS is used to set up load balancing between multiple servers that are advertising the same SRV records?
Priority
What standard enable Active Directory domain controllers to create their own SRV resource records?
Service Intergration protocol (SIP)
