Configuring DNS for Active Directory - MCTS Guide to Microsoft Windows Server 2008 Active Directory Configuration - page 358

• Stub zone —The stub zone contains a read-only copy of only the SOA and NS records for
a zone and the necessary A records to resolve NS records. A stub zone forwards queries to
a primary DNS server for that zone and is not authoritative for the zone.
Activity 9-1: Installing a New Domain Controller in a Subdomain
Time Required : 1 hour
Objective : Install a new domain controller in a subdomain.
Description: Several activities in this chapter and Chapter 10 can be done only with multiple
domain controllers, so using virtual machines is highly recommended. (See Appendix C for more
information.) This activity doesn't provide step-by-step instructions; it specifies the parameters
you should select for the new domain controller.
1. Install Windows Server 2008 Enterprise Edition on a physical or virtual machine.
2. Assign Password02 to the Administrator account.
3. Name the new server Server1XX (replacing XX with your assigned student number).
4. Assign the IP address 192.168.100.1XX (replacing XX with your assigned student number),
the subnet mask 255.255.255.0 , and the DNS server address 192.168.100.2XX (the address
of your ServerXX). Ask your instructor for the default gateway.
5. In Server Manager, install the Active Directory Domain Services Role. When the installation
is finished, run Dcpromo.exe.
6. When prompted, install the domain controller in a new domain in an existing forest. Name
the domain subXX.w2k8adXX.com . (Note: Make sure you read each window of the instal-
lation wizard carefully, and verify that you're entering the correct information.)
7. When prompted, click to clear the check box for including DNS as an option.
8. When the installation is finished, log on to this domain controller so that you're ready for
the next activity.
Activity 9-2: Installing DNS on the New Domain Controller
Time Required : 20 minutes
Objective : Install DNS on a new domain controller.
Description: You have just installed a new domain controller in a new subdomain, but you real-
ize you need to install DNS now.
1. Make sure you're logged on to Server1XX, and open Server Manager.
2. Click Roles in the left pane. In the right pane, click Add Roles to start the Add Roles Wizard.
In the wizard's welcome window, click Next .
3. In the Select Server Roles window, click the DNS Server check box, and then click Next . In
the Introduction to DNS Server window, click Next .
4. In the Confirm Installation Selections window, click Install . When the installation is finished,
click Close . Close Server Manager.
5. Click Start , point to Administrative Tools , and click DNS to open DNS Manager.
6. Click to expand Server1XX , and then click Forward Lookup Zones . Notice that there are
no zones. The DNS server on ServerXX holds the information for the new subdomain.
7. Now that Server1XX is a DNS server, you're going to change its IP address configuration so
that it uses itself for DNS lookups. Open a command prompt window. Type netsh interface
ipv4 set dnsserver “Local Area Connection” static 127.0.0.1 primary and press Enter . Type
ipconfig /all and press Enter to verify that the DNS server is now 127.0.0.1. Close the com-
mand prompt window.
8. Later you create a new zone for the subXX subdomain. For now, close all open windows
and log off or shut down Server1XX.
