Install and configure DNS Server

Описание

This quickstart shows you how to install and configure a DNS Server on Windows Server. You'll install the DNS Server role to host DNS zone data, forward DNS queries to DNS root hint name servers, or optionally to an upstream name server.

Prerequisites
Before you can install and configure your DNS server, your computer must meet the following prerequisites:

A computer running a support version of Windows Server.
A static IP.
An account that is a member of the Administrators group, or equivalent.
Installing DNS Server
Installing a Domain Name System (DNS) server involves adding the DNS Server role to an existing Windows Server server.

Tip

When you install Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) with the Active Directory Domain Services Installation Wizard, the wizard gives you the option to automatically install and configure a DNS server. The resulting DNS zone is integrated with the AD DS domain namespace. To learn more, see Understanding Active Directory Domain Services Integration.

To install the DNS Server role as a standalone server, perform the following steps:

PowerShell
GUI
Here's how to install the DNS Server role using the Install-WindowsFeature command.

Run PowerShell on your computer in an elevated session.

To install the DNS role, run the following command. The installation doesn't require a reboot.

PowerShell

Copy
Install-WindowsFeature -Name DNS
Configuring DNS Server
Now you've installed the DNS Server role, you can configure the server.

Configure interfaces
By default a DNS server will listen for requests on all IP address interfaces. You can configure DNS server to listen on a specify interface using the GUI or by using PowerShell.


Root hints servers are used to help resolving DNS address information when the DNS server is unable to resolve the query locally from a hosted zone or the DNS server cache. Root hints name servers are populated by default in new installations.

You can edit the list of root name servers if required by navigating to the Root Hints tab of the DNS server properties dialog box or by using PowerShell.

Removing all root hints servers isn't supported. Instead configure your DNS server to not use root hint name server by selecting the Disable recursion server option in the DNS Manager console Advanced tab. Disabling recursion also disables any configured forwarders. Alternatively, clear Use root hints if no forwarders are available in the Forwarders tab.
