DNS Newbie |
|
|
At my current company (200 employees) my computer doesn't list in the TCP/IP
Properties which DNS server it points to and it works, so that is fine.
However, when I've had to setup 2 servers for friends, one SBS2003 and one
Server 2003, I've had to setup each client (TCP/IP settings) to point to the
server as its DNS server. Which works as well. But how come I've had to do
this with the 2 servers I've setup but the company I work for doesn't.
Is it because both of the servers I have setup use only 1 NIC?
This question is just mainly for knowledge. Thanks. |

If the servers and clients are part of an Active Directory domain, all DCs,
and member client MUST use only the DNS servers that support the AD domain.
If the company you work for does not use Active Directory, and all local
resolution uses NetBIOS resolution, the DNS servers they use make no real
difference for local resolution.
For all the full benefits of SBS to work, (e.g. Exchange and centralized
user database) Active Directory would be required and therefore the AD
members are required to use the DNS that supports the AD domain.
