DNS

When using DNS the server itself needs to resolve at any time, so it's important it runs it's own DNS server.

This means that if you're allready running a DNS server with zones in it, you have two choices:

Convert to the MS DNS server

There is some script somewhere that allows you to dig your bind9 dns server and then use windows powershell to import the lines to windows DNS.

Convert the MS DNS records to bind9

You can find the DNS zones and records in the windows DNS tool. They look something like this in bind9:

Note that to be able to use filenames with a "_" in them you need to change /etc/bind/named.conf.options to include

# Put in because Microsoft wants a domain name with a _ char in it
check-names master ignore;
check-names slave ignore;
