Configure Network Services - MCSA Windows Server 2012 R2: Installation and Configuration Study Guide - page 89

Record type Type of record ( SRV ).

Priority Specifies a preference, similar to the Preference field in an MX record.

The SRV record with the lowest priority is used first ( 10 ).

Weight Service records with equal priority are chosen according to their weight

( 100 ).

Port number The port where the server is listening for this service ( 389 ).

Target The FQDN of the host computer ( hsv.example.com and msy.example

.com ).

You can define other types of service records. If your applications support
them, they can query DNS to find the services they need.

Configuring DNS

In the following sections, you'll begin to learn about the actual DNS server. You will start
by installing DNS. Then I will talk about different zone configuration options and what
they mean. Finally, you'll complete an exercise that covers configuring Dynamic DNS,
delegating zones, and manually entering records.
DNS requires that you use a static IP address on the server. The reason for this is that
clients access the DNS server by using its TCP/IP address, and that's why DNS servers need
to install a static IP address.
If you are currently using DHCP on your server, change your DNS server to have a static
IP address before completing this exercise. I know that most of you already know how to
change your IP address, but for anyone new to Microsoft Server 2012 R2, click the Start
button and go into Control Panel. Make sure that the VIEW BY in the upper-right corner
is set to large icons, and then choose Network and Sharing Center. On the right side of the
windows under Access Type, click the access type link you have (Ethernet, Wireless, and
so forth). Choose Properties, and then click Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) and
choose Properties. Choose the radio button for Use The Following IP Address and enter
your local TCP/IP settings. Click OK to change it from DHCP to a static TCP/IP address.

Installing DNS

Let's start by installing DNS. Installing DNS is an important part of running a network.
Exercise 2.1 walks you through the installation of a DNS server.
