How do I configure a domain on the DNS Server?

Start the DNS Manager (Start - Programs - Administrative Tools - DNS Manager)

From the DNS menu, select New Server and enter the IP address of the DNS Server, e.g. 200.200.200.3, and click OK

The server will now be displayed with a CACHE sub part

Next we want to add the domain, e.g. savilltech.com, from the DNS menu, select New Zone

Select Primary and click Next

Enter the name, e.g. savilltech.com, and then press tab, and it will fill in the Zone File Name and click Next

Click Finish

Next a zone for reverse lookups has to be created, so select New Zone from the DNS menu

Select Primary and click Next, enter the name of the first 3 parts of the domain IP + in-addr.arpa, e.g. if the domain was 158.234.26, the entry would be 26.234.158.in-addr.arpa, in my example it would be 200.200.200.in-addr.arpa, click tab for the file name to be filled and click Next, then click Finish

Add a record for the DNS server, by right clicking on the domain and select "New Record"

Enter the name of the machine, e.g. BUGSBUNNY (I had a strange upbringing :-) ), and enter and IP address, e.g. 200.200.200.3 and click OK

If you click F5 and examine the 200.200.200.in-addr.arpa a record has been added for BUGSBUNNY there as well

Start the DNS MMC snap-in (Start - Programs - Administrative Tools - MMC)

Right click on the DNS server and select 'Configure the server'

Click Next to the welcome screen

Select Yes to create a forward lookup zone and click Next

Select the type of zone. Active Directory integrated will only be available if the DNS server is also a domain controller. Select the type and click Next

Enter the name for the zone, e.g. savilltech.com and click Next

Select to create a new file and click Next

Select Yes to create a reverse zone and click Next

Again select the type, Active Directory integrated, standard or secondary and click Next

Enter the Network ID (the first parts of your IP address) and click Next

Select to create a new file and click Next

Click Finish to create the zone
