Best Answer

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
