setting up dns on d/c on win svr 08 r2.

hello all, have test enviroment installed
virtual machine win svr 08r2 made domain controller active
directory. me brief on view or link on how setup dns in
d/c. register domain name. kind of understand how
works not fully. know u need register domain name
outside world , provide dns servers use on network right?
anyway do, setup dns on domain controller (dc)
register domain name , ever guys think make real
small test network.  

hello,

here talking 2 different things:

• ad domain names used internal clients computers
• external dns names used allow access public resources of enterprise

having ad domain not require having external dns name. also, can have external dns name without having ad domain.

to see how dns support active directory works: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc759550%28v=ws.10%29.aspx

you can use external dns name publish ressources (web servers, ftp servers ...). more if ask isp technical support assistance.

since have dc, recommend making it:

• have unique nic card
• have single ip address
• points private ip address primary dns server , 127.0.0.1 secondary one
• add public dns servers forwarders , not in ip settings of dc

for internal clients, make them point dc primary dns server.
