3.1 Implementing DNS on Windows Server 2016 (Step by Step guide)

In this video series I am going to implement and configure networking with Windows Server 2016. In the third video from the series we are going to implement DNS. DNS is a core name resolution service required by every MS Active Directory domain. Proper DNS configuration is crucial for different services and applications to work.

Tips and tricks:
Get familiar with the new feature DNS Policy – https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/networking/dns/deploy/dns-policy-scenario-guide

I commend you for your effort and sharing your knowledge. Keep sharing

    Is setting up a DNS server in windows server means creating a directory of IP and equivalent domain name from scratch? or just pointing to an existing DNS in cloud?



  9. Joseph Rossano on February 15, 2022 at 10:50 pm

    So quick question, I have installed the DNS server and zones, currently things are working BUT, not the way they really should be, as I get errors saying HOST ip address can not be found even though I run nslookup and it shows me there. I created seperate zones, mail zone, autodiscover zone, and local name zone, but and big but, domain name external lookup is .ca that is not in the zones.

    join using "." or "@", example: ".cli01" and "@cli01", calls the abbreviated domain ? which one does that? which record do I add ? orbigado



  13. Salvador Yanes on February 15, 2022 at 10:52 pm

    What tool do you use to put the hostname and IP information up on the right top corner of your machine? And thank you for the DNS info by the way.



  14. Gertjan klusopklus on February 15, 2022 at 10:53 pm

    i you can also show you how to connect to a website (CDN CNAME) that is most important.

    I NEED TO INTEGRATE BIND WITH WINDOWS SERVER IS THIS TUTORIAL RELEVANT FOR ME IF NOT PLEASE KINDLY REFER ME TO THOSE WHICH CAN ASSIST ME.



  16. Ashley Bishton on February 15, 2022 at 10:55 pm

    I’m trying to connect to mine but when ping I get time out. I’m using it virtual box with Nat network but works when I use bridged so it must be my router. I could not get it to sorted so would like to configure it not sure if I’ve done anything wrong.

  21. Ivan Ivanov on February 15, 2022 at 11:08 pm

    If I want to contact you for a private lesson, what is the way?



  22. Mods & Tweaks on February 15, 2022 at 11:08 pm

    I think the secondry option at 7:40 is that externally related DNS issue which is purely handled by ISP – no replication here?



  23. vacantplanet on February 15, 2022 at 11:09 pm

    What’s the benefit of having DNS running from a windows server, rather than the router?



  24. H0 PE on February 15, 2022 at 11:10 pm

    I agree with Kivi Kocher. None of the other explanation vids from other people (mostly indians :)) have such a good explanation. Keep it up man! I think I sub to you. 😉



  25. Julio A. on February 15, 2022 at 11:10 pm

  27. A Malik on February 15, 2022 at 11:11 pm

    Hey Nick, how would you modify the DNS server so that if a client connected to the DNS and navigates to lets say ‘google.com’ you are able to specify the IP address of where that would map to. For example, I want any user that tries to go to bing.com is navigated to google.com?

  40. Luke Hester on February 15, 2022 at 11:24 pm

    I have configured some host records in my DNS server and I had them working for only a short time. Now from a PC on the network, it tells me the host cannot be found when I try and ping. I’m thinking it is because the TTL on the records is set to 1 hour, but I’m not really sure..



  41. Whatevs on February 15, 2022 at 11:24 pm
