Install and Configure DNS 
The next step is to install the Domain Naming System (DNS) server on the machine that will 
be the domain controller. This is required because the Active Directory requires a DNS server 
into which it registers domain-related DNS records. We will install the DNS server and then 
create the domain into which we will promote the machine. 

Perform the following steps to install the DNS server on the domain controller machine: 

1. Click 

Start and point to Control Panel. Click Add or Remove Programs. 

2. In 

the 

Add or Remove Programs window, click the Add/Remove Windows 

Components button on the left side of the window. 

3. In 

the 

Windows Components dialog box, scroll through the list of Components and 

click the Networking Services entry. Click Details. 

4.  Place a checkmark in the Domain Name System (DNS) checkbox and click OK. 

5. Click 

Next in the Windows Components page. 

6. Click 

Finish on the Completing the Windows Components Wizard page. 

7. Close 

the 

Add or Remove Programs window. 

Now that the DNS server is installed, we can add forward and reverse lookup zones to 
support our network configuration. Perform the following steps to configure the DNS server: 

1. Click 

Start and then click Administrative Tools. Click DNS. 

2. In 

the 

DNS console, expand the server name and then click on the Reverse Lookup 

Zones node. Right click on the Reverse Lookup Zones and click New Zone. 

3. Click 

Next on the Welcome to the New Zone Wizard page. 

4. On 

the 

Zone Type page, select the Primary zone option and click Next. 

5. On 

the 

Reverse Lookup Zone Name page, select the Network ID option and then enter 

10.0.0 in the text box below it. Click Next. 

6.  Accept the default selection on the Zone File page, and click Next. 

7. On 

the 

Dynamic Update page, select the Allow both nonsecure and secure dynamic 

updates option. Click Next. 

8. Click 

Finish on the Completing the New Zone Wizard page. 

Now we can create the forward lookup zone for the domain that this machine will be promoted 
into. Perform the following steps to create the forward lookup zone: 

1.  Right click the Forward Lookup Zone entry in the left pane of the console and click New 

Zone.  

2. Click 

Next on the Welcome to the New Zone Wizard page. 

3. On 

the 

Zone Type page, select the Primary zone option and click Next. 

4. On 

the 

Zone Name page, enter the name of the forward lookup zone in the Zone name 

text box. In this example, the name of the zone is msfirewall.org. We will enter 
msfirewall.org into the text box. Click Next. 

5.  Accept the default settings on the Zone File page and click Next. 

6. On 

the 

Dynamic Update page, select the Allow both nonsecure and secure dynamic 

updates. Click Next. 

7. Click 

Finish on the Completing the New Zone Wizard page.
