Abstract

Naming of objects, domains, servers, and other network resources facilitates network management by making it easier to assign a name, locate an object, or determine the purpose for an object. Before one installs the first server on the network, he or she should have his or her naming strategy established. Active Directory uses Domain Name System (DNS) naming for its domains. It is dependent upon DNS to act as a locator service. Beyond that, each name within Active Directory must be unique. DNS is tightly integrated with Windows 2000 Active Directory Services. Active Directory uses DNS for its locator service for the NetLogon service. The DNS must support SRV resource records, and preferably will support dynamic updates as well. This integration runs in both directions. Not only does Active Directory use DNS as its locator service, but it can also manage and maintain the DNS information within itself.
