Abstract
The Microsoft Windows 2000 DNS is a standards-based Domain Name System (DNS) server that represents a tremendous forward stride over the DNS server provided with Windows NT 4.0. With DNS becoming the mechanism for authentication for Windows 2000 networks, DNS no longer is the “add-on” product that it was considered in Windows NT 4.0 networks. The Windows 2000 DNS server allows users to keep a database of host names and IP addresses. The Windows 2000 DNS also allows one for the dynamic update of host names and IP addresses in a manner very similar to how WINS servers function. Dynamic DNS is a new feature in the Windows 2000 DNS server and is not available in the Windows NT 4.0 DNS server. There are a number of tools one can use to investigate problems with one's DNS server. In this chapter, a discussion is made on the differences between NetBIOS and DNS naming conventions.
