RE: DNS AD integrated

Hello,

Thanks for posting!

Active Directory Integrated DNS zones have three different configuration
options:

Option#1 -- To all DNS servers in the Active Directory forest
<domainname.com>
Option#2 -- To all DNS servers in the Active Directory domain
<domainname.com>
Option#3 -- To all Domain Controllers in the Active Directory domain
<domainname.com>

Each of these configuration options causes the DNS zone to be stored in
different containers in the Active Directory

To use DNS integration within Active Directory, assign the zone type Active
Directory-integrated when you create the zone. (For more information about
how to create zones, see Windows 2000 Server Help.) Objects that represent
zone database records are created in the Microsoft DNS container within the
System container (visible in the Advanced Features view in Active Directory
Users and Computers), and the contents are replicated to all domain
controllers in the domain. When you have Active Directory integrated DNS
zones, all Active Directory domain controllers that run Windows 2000 DNS
server and are appropriately configured function as primary name servers.

When DNS data is stored in Active Directory, each DNS zone is an Active
Directory container object (class dnsZone). The dnsZone object contains a
DNS node object (class dnsNode) for every unique name within that zone.
These unique names include the variations assigned to a specific host
computer when it functions, for example, as a primary domain controller or
as a Global Catalog server. The dnsNode object has a dnsRecord multivalue
attribute that contains a value for every resource record that is
associated with an object's name.

-------------------------------
Option#1 -- To all DNS servers in the Active Directory forest
<domainname.com>
a. Adsiedit.msc
b. Configuration container
c. CN=Partitions
d. "New connection to Naming Context"
e. open DC=ForestDnsZones
f. CN=MicrosoftDNS
g. DC= <domainname.com>

-------------------------------

Option#2 -- To all DNS servers in the Active Directory domain
<domainname.com>
Configuration container:
a. Adsiedit.msc
b. Configuration container
c. CN=Partitions
d. "New connection to Naming Context"
e. open DC=DomainDnsZones
f. CN=MicrosoftDNS
g. DC= <domainname.com>

-------------------------------

Option#3 -- To all Domain Controllers in the Active Directory domain
<domainname.com>
Domain container:
a. Adsiedit.msc
b. Domain container
c. CN=System
d. CN=MicrosoftDNS
e. DC= <domainname.com>

| I've been playin with DNS, and i'm learning alot. the only thing i have a
| question about is AD-Integrated dns. i was reading a ms press book and it
| says that all AD-I primary zones get stored in AD and replicated thru AD.
| where do i see these DNS objects in AD? i can see everything just fine in
| the DNS snap in but i dont know where to search in active directory users
| and groups. any help would be greatly appreciated.
