AD integrated DNS Server question |
|
|
I still dont really understand ad integrated dns..... I understand the
benefits of having in integrated, but what about for example when i setup a
second AD win2003 server and say it will added to an existing AD integrated
domain, Does this mean if one of the AD int DNS servers go down, will the
second server automatically take over?, being that it is itegrated?, or when
i add the second AD int. server create a new ad integrated zone and sync it
with the first server......
thanks...

AD Integration is just telling it to store the data in the AD database or in
one of the application partitions instead of the old legacy usual text file.
AD Integration gives you security on the zone, as well as multi-master
feartures, where any DNS server that has an AD Integrated zone will be the
master at that point in time when you create a record. An AD Integrated zone
will also act as a Primary zone to allow a DNS server that is member server,
or a DC that is not part of your domain, to host a secondary of it. I
mentioned if the DC is not part of the domain because if it is and you try
to create a secondary, it will balk because it is aware of the same name
zone you are trying to create because it is in the AD database.
It doesn't mean the server will "take over". It's just a way to store the
zone data. If you install DNS on another DC in the same domain, and/or
depending on the replication scope of the zone you have set, the zone will
auto appear in it, just be patient. There is NOTHING to sync. AD replication
will handle the rest, since afterall, it;s in the AD database.
