DNS
The Windows 2000 implementation of DNS server is designed to
interoperate with, and take full advantage of, Active Directory.
Conventional DNS servers use single-master replication, but
Windows 2000 DNS can take advantage of Windows 2000 Active
Directory service, which has a multimaster replication engine. In
this way, network managers can centralize and simplify system
administration and overall system management by not having to
maintain a separate replication topology for DNS. Integration with
Active Directory, coupled with new features and enhancements to
the core Windows 2000 DNS services, provides greater reliability
and improved network administration. This paper is aimed at
Information Technology (IT) managers who wish to better
understand how these benefits can be realized through the
deployment of Windows 2000 DNS services.
