There is an additional DNS configuration that you must perform for the internal Active Directory directory service integrated zone.

Tasks

  1. Create the Reverse Lookup Zone
  2. Create Reverse Lookup Pointers for Domain Controllers

Create the Reverse Lookup Zone

A reverse lookup zone provides the ability to make efficient reverse lookups for services that require this functionality.

Use the DNS console on AD01 to create the reverse lookup zone, by using only secure dynamic updates. The replication scope must be to all domain controllers in the domain.

Procedure W03-DWCM.7: To create the reverse lookup zone on AD01 and apply it to all domain controllers

  1. Open the DNS console on AD01.

  2. Follow the instructions to create a reverse lookup zone for AD01. Ensure the zone is set as a Primary zone to be stored in Active Directory.

Create Reverse Lookup Pointers for Domain Controllers

Create pointer records for AD01 and AD02 in the reverse lookup zone you created in the previous steps. Then, verify these pointers.

Procedure W03-DWCM.8: To add pointer records for AD01 and AD02 in the reverse lookup zone

  1. On AD01, at a command prompt, run ipconfig /registerdns.

  2. Repeat on AD02.

Procedure W03-DWCM.9: To verify pointer records for AD01 and AD02 in the reverse lookup zone

  1. Open the DNS management console on AD01.

  2. Select the reverse lookup zone that you created in the previous section for AD01.

  3. Verify that pointer records have been created for AD01 and AD02 in the reverse lookup zone.
