Promote This Server to Domain Controller
(Optional - Recommended)
Promote
this server to the domain controller
role by using the Dcpromo.exe utility.
After the
server has been promoted to the domain
controller role, the DNS server can use
the Active Directory Storage Integration
feature (this is the recommended path).
Proceed to the next step if you want to
use Active Directory Storage Integration
for DNS.
Enable
Active Directory Integrated DNS
(Optional - Recommended)
Active
Directory Integrated DNS uses the
directory for the storage and
replication of DNS zone databases. If
you decide to use Active Directory
Integrated DNS, DNS runs on one or more
domain controllers and you do not need
to set up a separate DNS replication
topology.

the Forward Lookup Zones folder.
