After this, DNS should be successfully installed. As our DNS server was just installed it is not populated with anything. The Forward Lookup Zones node stores zones that are used to map host names to IP addresses, whereas the Reverse Lookup Zones node stores zones that are used to map IP addresses to host names. A cache-only DNS server contains no zones or resource records.
Its only function is to cache answers to queries that it processes, that way if the server receives the same query again later, rather than go through the recursion process again to answer the query, the cache-only DNS server would just return the cached response, thereby saving time.
With its limited functionality, a cache-only DNS server is best suited for a small office environment or a small remote branch office. However, in a large enterprise where Active Directory is typically deployed, more features would be needed from a DNS server, such as the ability to store records for computers, servers and Active Directory.
The DNS server stores those records in a database, or a zone. DNS has a few different types of zones, and each has a different function. We will first create a primary forward lookup zone titled firewall. We do not want to name it firewall. On the Zone Type screen, make sure that Primary zone is selected and click Next. We now have a foundation that we can place resource records in for name resolution by internal clients.
Contrary to the forward lookup zone, a reverse lookup zone is used by the DNS server to resolve IP addresses to host names. Not as frequently used as forward lookup zones, reverse lookup zones are often used by anti-spam systems in countering spam and by monitoring systems when logging events or issues. To create a reverse lookup zone:. On the Reverse Lookup Zone Name screen, enter There is now a reverse lookup zone titled This will be used to store PTR records for computers and servers in those subnets.
Using the instructions above, go ahead and create two additional reverse lookup zones, one for a There are different types of resource records, and the DNS server will respond with the record that is requested in a query.
As such, we will create all but SRV records because Active Directory will create those automatically:. Right-click firewall. And, for demonstration purposes, it does not matter whether this server actually exists or not. A corresponding PTR record will be created in the appropriate reverse lookup zone. On the Browse window, double-click the server name, then double-click Forward Lookup Zones, then double-click firewall.
This should populate the webserver's fully qualified domain name in the Fully qualified domain name FQDN for target host text field. Click OK afterwards. On the New Resource Record window, click Browse , double-click the server name, then double-click Forward Lookup Zones, then double-click firewall. This should populate the mailserver's fully qualified domain name in the Fully qualified domain name FQDN of mail server text field.
Back at the Resource Record Type window, click Done. Our standalone Windows Server DNS server now has a primary forward lookup zone, a primary reverse lookup zone, and multiple resource records. As a standard function, it will also cache the answers to queries that it has already resolved. In his position, Nuno assists in supporting over fifteen-hundred internal and external customers nationally.
Back to Windows Server Section. After the SOA query is resolved, the client sends a dynamic update to the server that is specified in the returned SOA record. If this update fails, the client repeats the SOA query process by sending to the next DNS server that is listed in the response. After the primary server that can perform the update is contacted, the client sends the update request, and the server processes it.
The contents of the update request include instructions to add A, and possibly PTR, resource records for " newhost. The server also checks to make sure that updates are permitted for the client request. For standard primary zones, dynamic updates are not secured.
Any client attempt to update succeeds. For Active Directory-integrated zones, updates are secured and performed using directory-based security settings. Dynamic updates are sent or refreshed periodically.
By default, computers send an update every twenty-four hours. If the update causes no changes to zone data, the zone remains at its current version, and no changes are written.
Updates that cause actual zone changes or increased zone transfers occur only if names or addresses actually change. Names are not removed from DNS zones if they become inactive or if they are not updated within the update interval of twenty-four hours.
DNS does not use a mechanism to release or to tombstone names, although DNS clients do try to delete or to update old name records when a new name or address change is applied. This value determines how long other DNS servers and clients cache a computer's records when they are included in a query response. Scope clients can use the DNS dynamic update protocol to update their host name-to-address mapping information whenever changes occur to their DHCP-assigned address.
This mapping information is stored in zones on the DNS server. This enables the client to notify the DHCP server as to the service level it requires. In this case, the option is processed and interpreted by Windows Server-based DHCP servers to determine how the server initiates updates on behalf of the client.
This is the default configuration for Windows. To configure the DHCP server to register client information according to the client's request, follow these steps:.
By default, updates are always performed for newly installed Windows Server-based DHCP servers and any new scopes that you create for them. The following examples show how this process varies in different cases.
For these DHCP clients, updates are typically handled in the following manner:. After you integrate a zone, you can use the access control list ACL editing features that are available in the DNS snap-in to add or to remove users or groups from the ACL for a specific zone or for a resource record. For more information, search for the "To modify security for a resource record" topic or the "To modify security for a directory integrated zone" topic in Windows Server Help.
By default, dynamic update security for Windows Server DNS servers and clients is handled in the following manner:. Windows Server-based DNS clients try to use nonsecure dynamic updates first. If the nonsecure update is refused, clients try to use a secure update. Also, clients use a default update policy that lets them to try to overwrite a previously registered resource record, unless they are specifically blocked by update security.
By default, when you use standard zone storage, the DNS Server service does not enable dynamic updates on its zones. For zones that are either directory-integrated or use standard file-based storage, you can change the zone to enable all dynamic updates.
This enables all updates to be accepted by passing the use of secure updates. The secure dynamic updates functionality can be compromised if the following conditions are true:. For more information, see the "Security considerations when you use the DnsUpdateProxy group" section. The secure dynamic update functionality is supported only for Active Directory-integrated zones. If you configure a different zone type, change the zone type, and then integrate the zone before you secure it for DNS updates.
If you use secure dynamic updates in this configuration with Windows Server-based DNS servers, resource records may become stale. In some circumstances, this scenario may cause problems. For example, if DHCP1 fails and a second backup DHCP server comes online, the backup server cannot update the client name because the server is not the owner of the name. In another example, assume that the DHCP server performs dynamic updates for legacy clients.
If you upgrade those clients to a version supporting dynamic updates, the upgraded client cannot take ownership or update its DNS records. To solve this problem, a built-in security group named DnsUpdateProxy is provided. If all DHCP servers are added to the DnsUpdateProxy group, the records of one server can be updated by another server if the first server fails.
Also, all the objects that are created by the members of the DnsUpdateProxy group are not secured. Therefore, the first user who is not a member of the DnsUpdateProxy group and that modifies the set of records that is associated with a DNS name becomes its owner. When legacy clients are upgraded, they can take ownership of their name records at the DNS server.
If every DHCP server that registers resource records for legacy clients is a member of the DnsUpdateProxy group, many problems are eliminated. If you are using multiple DHCP servers for fault tolerance and secure dynamic updates, add each server to the DnsUpdateProxy global security group.
Also, objects that are created by the members of the DnsUpdateProxy group are not secure. Therefore, you cannot use this group effectively in an Active Directory-integrated zone that enables only secure dynamic updates unless you take additional steps to enable records that are created by members of the group to be secured.
To help protect against nonsecure records or to enable members of the DnsUpdateProxy group to register records in zones that enable only secured dynamic updates, follow these steps:.
A dedicated user account is a user account whose sole purpose is to supply DHCP servers with credentials for DNS dynamic update registrations. Assume that you have created a dedicated user account and configured DHCP servers with the account credentials. The dedicated user account should be created in the forest where the primary DNS server for the zone to be updated resides.
The dedicated user account can also be located in another forest. However, the forest that the account resides in must have a forest trust established with the forest that contains the primary DNS server for the zone to be updated. When the DHCP Server service is installed on a domain controller, you can configure the DHCP server by using the credentials of the dedicated user account to prevent the server from inheriting, and possibly misusing, the power of the domain controller.
When the DHCP Server service is installed on a domain controller, it inherits the security permissions of the domain controller. The service also has the authority to update or delete any DNS record that is registered in a secure Active Directory-integrated zone.
This includes records that were securely registered by other Windows-based computers, and by domain controllers. The dynamic update functionality that is included in Windows follows RFC By default, the name that is used in the DNS registration is a concatenation of the computer name and the primary DNS suffix. Right-click the connection that you want to configure, and then click Properties.
