JSI Tip 3637. How do I configure DNS Zone Transfer settings via the registry?
April 29, 2001
Information on the Zone Transfer tab of DNS Manager is located in the registry at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetServicesDNSZones.
The Value Names are:
Value | Type | Default | D e s c r i p t i o n |
---|---|---|---|
NotifyLevel | REG_DWORD | 1 - Standard primary2 - Active Directory–integrated | 0 - DNS does NOT notify secondary servers when zone information changes. 1 - Notify only the name servers that are authoritative for the zone. 2 - Notify only the servers you specify in NotifyServers. |
NotifyServers | REG_SZ | IP address[, IP address] ... is a list of secondary servers that this master DNS server notifies when zone information changes, if NotifyLevel is 2. | |
SecureSecondaries | REG_DWORD | 0 - Standard primary3 - Active Directory–integrated | 0 - Send zone transfers to all secondary servers that request them. 1 - Send zone transfers only to name servers that are authoritative for the zone. 2 - Send zone transfers only to servers you specify in SecondaryServers. 3 - Do not send zone transfers. |
SecondaryServers | REG_SZ | IP address[, IP address] ... is a list of secondary servers to which this DNS server sends zone transfers, if SecureSecondaries is 2. |
NOTE: These entries are NOT replicated to other DNS servers authoritative for this zone.
NOTE: You must restart the DNS service, as DNS only reads its registry entries when it starts.
NOTE: See tip 6731 for Windows Server 2003.
