Hello.

I have one question about Active Directory integrated DNS zone.

My organization want to use dns domain in their browser without www
in front. We have the following configuration.
2 external dns servers, where this is OK.
2 internal dns servers that also is Active Directory servers.
The DNS Zone is active directory integrated.
I can see that there is 2 records - (same as parent folder) pointing
to our AD servers.
What are these 2 records used for, and can it be deleted ??

These are the LDAP IP Address records and they cannot be deleted, they also
resolve the SYSVOL and NETLOGON DFS logon shares \\ADDNSDomain\SYSVOL and
\\ADDNSDomain\NETLOGON where logon scripts and GPOs are found by domain
members.

If you want to make your website available by http://ADDNSDomain create web
sites on all Domain controllers using the host header 'websitedomain'
(without the quotes) pointing the website to an empty folder, after you
create the website, go to that sites properties *** in Internet Services
manager, Home Directory tab, select "A redirection to a URL" and enter
http://www.ADDNSDomain
Then all you need is the www record in DNS that resolves the website IP
address.


Is is possible for me to add a new DNS record in the AD integrated
zone (same as parent folder) pointing to my web server ?

No, this could direct member clients to the Web server for group policies
and logon scripts and cause 1000 events in the log.
