Set up two virtual machines, Windows 10 and Windows 11, allocate 8 GB RAM each, load OS from ISO, and install VMware tools to prep for DHCP lab work.
Configure fully qualified domain names by appending the Udemy.local DNS suffix, assign static IPs, and set Windows 10/11 clients to use the server as DNS for testing connectivity.
Test connectivity by pinging an IP address and a FQDN to understand ICMP behavior and firewall effects. Demonstrate DNS resolution is required to reach resources by name.
Install the DNS server role on Windows Server 2022 and enable name resolution. Learn how routines and forwarders affect external access and how zones and resource records support internal naming.
Create a primary forward lookup zone named udemy.local, configure A records and other resource records (NS and SOA), and enable dynamic updates to resolve names to IPs.
Create and test resource records in a forward lookup zone, including CNAME aliases for web server, and observe recursive queries and DNS caching with ipconfig display dns and flush dns.
Examine the start of authority and MX record setup, configure a canonical name alias, and observe DNS caching and flush DNS effects; note reverse lookup zones in the next lecture.
Create a primary reverse lookup zone for IPv4, understand PTR versus A records, enable dynamic updates, and learn to manually or automatically build pointer records for IP-to-name resolution.
Explore using nslookup and ipconfig to query dns, flush and register dns, and display dns cache while examining forward/reverse zones and A/MX records on Windows Server 2022.
Simulate two organizations by renaming servers and clients for Udemy and Coursera, then install DNS on the second server to manage name resolution in a Windows Server 2022 lab.
simulate two networks by changing IP settings on the Udemy and Coursera servers and clients, then implement static routing to enable inter-network communication.
Configure static routing between two networks on Windows Server by adding persistent routes and updating the routing table with route print and route add, then test with ping.
Test connectivity between networks using IPs and names by configuring DNS forward lookup zones, registering clients, and illustrating primary and secondary zones to resolve names.
Create and configure a secondary zone for cross-organization name resolution between Coursera.local and Udemy.local, manage zone transfers, and restart DNS services, noting security and bandwidth trade-offs.
Create a stub zone on each server for alternate name resolution, avoiding a full secondary zone by exposing only essential records and enhancing security.
Create and configure a conditional forwarder on each server to enable alternate name resolution between two organizations, test DNS resolution, and understand why forwarders outperform subzones or secondary zones.
Learn to rename computers and assign static ip addresses in a lab, configure dns and dhcp, and introduce active directory zones on windows server 2019 and 2022.
Install DNS and create a zone for Udemy.local, then install Active Directory Domain Services to promote the server to a domain controller.
Inspect the Udemy.local DNS zone, review SRV records and LDAP and Kerberos services, and prepare by removing DNS from extra servers to enable Active Directory zone replication.
Store the DNS zone in Active Directory and replicate it to additional domain controllers by promoting server two and server three as domain controllers.
Install DNS on server two and server three, store the zone in Active Directory, and verify replication to all domain controllers with three name servers.
Control DNS zone replication by creating a directory partition in Active Directory with DNS cmd and enlisting specific servers, ensuring only selected domain controllers host the zone.
Configure DNS on servers and clients with preferred and alternate servers, enable secure updates by storing zones in Active Directory, and register DNS records using administrator privileges and Kerberos authentication.
Learn how the hosts file can override dns queries, how to edit it safely with administrator access, and how this affects dns resolution from client to server.
