Managing the DNS server role on domain controllers

This recipe covers the necessary steps to add and remove the DNS server role from domain controllers.

Getting ready

Sign in with an account that has local administrator privileges on the domain controller.

How to do it…

Managing the DNS server role on the domain controllers consists of three steps:

  1. Modifying the primary and secondary DNS server addresses on the network interface card(s)
  2. Restarting the Netlogon service
  3. Removing the DNS server role

Modifying the primary and secondary DNS server addresses on the network interface card(s)

DNS is vital to Active Directory, as most, if not all, Active Directory services rely on name resolution. The DNS server addresses configured in the domain controller's Network Interface Card (NIC) settings allow name resolution for reachability. They also allow the replication of objects within Active Directory among other required services.
