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

∙ 15y agoWhen 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. For more information, see Checklist: Verifying DNS before installing Active Directory and Using the Active Directory Installation Wizard. Important • The DNS server used to support Active Directory must support SRV resource records for the Locator mechanism to function. For more information, see Managing resource records. • It is recommended that the DNS infrastructure allows dynamic updates of Locator DNS resource records (SRV and A) before installing Active Directory, but your DNS administrator may add these resource records manually after installation. After installing Active Directory, these records can be found on the domain controller in the following location: systemroot\System32\Config\Netlogon.dns

Zone Transfer
Describe the importance of DNS to Internet?
DNS translates ip addresses into names which are easy read and remember for people.
Is it possible to install AD without dns?
No, DNS is a central part of an AD.
What two advantages of using ad ds-integrated dns zones over standard dns zones?
a. All AD DS-integrated DNS zone records are stored in the Active Directory database. b. AD DS-integrated DNS uses the multimaster replication process of AD.

Is there any difference between DNS and BIND?
BIND is actually the software that implements DNS. BIND is the software and DNS is the language it speaks-this means BIND is an application that provides DNS services like windows AD DNS does.
When DNS is installed on a new domain controller are AD-integrated zones replicated to the new DNS server automatically?
true
What is AD-integrated zones?
An AD-integrated zone is a DNS zone that is integrated with Active Directory. Typically this occurs on a Domain Controller (dc), which requires DNS to answer queries from Active Directory (LDAP).
Do you configure DNS or Active Directory first in Windows Server 2008?
DNS is always configured first for ad to work properly
Can Windows XP host the Active Directory and DNS and allow fault-tolerant disk configurations?
The XP cannot host AD ie you cannot install full AD on it. but yes we can make it dns server to resolve the dns queries in the network but it is advisable to use server platform to make a dns server. There is utility which is there ADAM with help of which the XP can have features of system having AD but it has limitations and less options.
Why do you need DHCP in AD?
You dont *need* DHCP in AD. Although most people just use it anyway. However you do need DNS in an AD.
Does DNS support clustering If so how?
You can do that but there is very cheap solution to it (why burn company money, if the company did not get bailout from Fed). Install DNS as AD interated DNS and you do not need fail over separate server. Shahbaz
You installed a new ad domain and the new and first dc has not registered its srv records in dns name a few possible causes?
