because it is the pre condition for active directory to work.
the work of dns is to find host( machine in the network ) with help of IP or hostname( computer name) and dns stores all the info about it
DNS makes ip addresses readable to us, for example instead of 172.63.187 we would type www.Google.com........ it helps us out without it we'd have to memorize numbers to get web sites
The DNS Server Role and the active directory is not installed till the adds service is started on the server 2008.if the service is not started(one needs to check the option under roles of the server)the active directory installation wont happen.this feature is only in 2008 not in 2003.The active directory works as service in 2008
netlogon dns rpc active directory services(it is in form of service in win2008 only) these are the major ones
