DNS
Server Requirements for Active Directory
Support
Microsoft
recommends that you use Microsoft DNS
Server as supplied with Windows 2000
Server as your DNS server. However,
Microsoft DNS is not required.
The DNS
server that you use:
Version
8.1.2 and later of BIND (a popular DNS
server implementation) supports both the
SRV RR and dynamic update. (Version
8.1.1 does support dynamic updates but
it has flaws that were fixed in 8.1.2.)
If you are using a version of BIND that
does not support dynamic update, you
need to manually add records to the DNS
server.
Note:
Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 Server DNS does
not support the SRV record. Use DNS
Server that is provided with Windows
2000 Server |
