Integrating Win Server 2003 DNS with the existing DNS structure in Win Server 2003

This step-by-step article describes how to install and configure a new Windows Server 2003 Domain Name Service (DNS) server in a DNS server environment without Active Directory open. . The new Windows Server 2003 DNS server provides local name resolution services for Windows Server 2003 clients and servers while working effectively with existing DNS server environments.
Adding a Windows Server 2003 DNS Server to Your Environment
To create a new Windows Server 2003 DNS server, you must have Windows Server 2003 installed on a networked server. By default, DNS is not installed during the installation of Windows Server 2003. You must have DNS installed on the server. You can install the Windows Server 2003 DNS service during the installation of a Windows Server 2003 product, or you can install it after the initial installation.
Installing the Windows Server 2003 DNS Service on a server running Windows Server 2003

Click Start, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel.

Double-click Add or Remove Programs, and then click Add/Remove Windows Components.

In the Windows Components Wizard, click Network Services in the Components list, and then click Details.

In Network Services, if the Domain Name System (DNS) check box is not already selected, click to select the check box, and then click OK.

In the Windows Components Wizard, click Next. When prompted, insert the Windows Server 2003 CD-ROM into your computer's CD-ROM drive. The installer copies the DNS server and tool files to your computer.

After the installation is complete, click Finish.

the Windows Server 2003 DNS into your DNS domain
certain areas if the environment already has a DNS domain and DNS structure, and do not open the Active Directory, you can use an existing domain and DNS Delegate to this server. In some cases, use an existing DNS domain, such as a program running on a computer that requires a DNS lookup that is not supported by an existing DNS server, such as a DNS service (SRV) record lookup. To complete the next step, you must first install the Windows Server 2003 DNS server.

If your organization's existing DNS server can not find SRV records (and can not be upgraded to perform this task), you can Windows Server 2003 DNS server directly integrated into existing DNS zone. To do this, you can delegate certain areas to a Windows Server 2003 DNS server. Other steps include creating a new zone on a Windows Server 2003 DNS server for a specific zone on another DNS server, and opening a new zone for dynamic updates.
Use the Configure DNS Server Wizard to delegate a zone to a DNS server

1. Click Start, point to Programs, click Administrative Tools, and then click DNS.
2. In the left pane of the console, click the DNS server object for your server, and then expand the server object to expand the tree.
3. Right-click the server object and click Configure DNS Server to launch the Configure DNS Server Wizard. Click Next.
4. Click "Create a forward search area (recommended for small networks)" and click Next.
5. Click "ISP maintains this area and a read-only copy that resides on this server."
6. In the Zone Name dialog box, type a name for the zone (for example, microsoft.com or newzone.microsoft.com ).
7. In the Primary DNS Server dialog box, type the IP address of a known DNS server. Click Next.
8. Click No, do not forward the query forward, and then click Next.
9. Click Finish to save the new configuration and configure the DNS server.
   
   Because the DNS server will only be responsible for supporting areas that support SRV records and dynamic updates, certain areas on other DNS servers must be delegated to the server. These areas include:
   
10. _tcp. DNS domain name (eg: _tcp. my company.com)
11. _udp. DNS domain name (eg: _udp. my company.com)
12. _msdcs. DNS domain name (Example: _msdcs. My company.com)
13. _sites. DNS directory domain name (eg: _sites. My company.com)
    
    You must repeat the following two sections for each zone you want to create. The steps explained. After delegating the zone to the DNS server, create a zone for each zone in the list of steps on the Windows Server 2003 DNS server.
    Create a new zone for the zone on the Windows Server 2003 DNS server
    
    1. Click Start, point to Programs, point to Administrative Tools, and then click DNS.
    2. In the left pane of the console, click the DNS server object for your server, and then expand the server object to expand the tree.
    3. Right-click Forward Lookup Zone and click New Zone. Click Next.
    4. Click Main Area to create a master copy of the new area. Click Next.
    5. Type the name of the new zone (for example, _tcp.mycompany.com ) and click Next.
    6. Click Accept to accept the default file name for the new zone file, and then click Next.
    7. Click "Allow any dynamic updates" and click Next.
    8. Click Finish.
       
       Open a new zone for dynamic updates
       
       1. In the left pane of the DNS Management Console, click the DNS server object for your server, and then expand the server object to Expand the tree.
       2. Right-click the server object and click Properties.
       3. On the General tab, click the Allow dynamic updates drop-down box, and then click Yes. Click OK.
          
          Repeat the steps in the "Create a new zone for a zone on a Windows Server 2003 DNS server" section, and then repeat the steps in the "Open a new zone for dynamic update" section of this article.
          Troubleshooting
          The following section describes how to solve the problem.
          Options for Configuring Root Prompts or Forwarders (If They Are Available)
          If a DNS server is not detected during the initial configuration of Windows Server 2003 DNS, the system will usually designate the new DNS server as the "root server" ", it has the most permissions for all named resolution activities. As a result, the new DNS server cannot forward any name resolution queries it cannot resolve to another server or to the root server on the Internet. Therefore, a Windows Server 2003 DNS server that has been configured as a root server will turn off the option to automatically add forwarders.
          
          If you later decide to integrate this DNS server into a larger DNS environment such as the Internet, you must delete the "root" forward lookup zone.
          
          To delete the root forward search area, follow these steps:
          1. Click Start, point to Programs, point to Administrative Tools, and then click DNS.
          2. In the left pane of the console, click the DNS server object for your server, and then expand the server object to expand the tree.
          3. Click the forward search area to expand it.
          4. Click on the area marked with a period and press the DELETE key.
          5. Click OK to confirm that you want to delete the zone.
