how to get nslookup to work??
we have a brand new domain controller in a test network and nslookup is not working. we get IP and then unknown. how do i fix this??
what happens when you type nslookup microsoft.com in a command prompt ?
After the initial error is it OK? If so this is a common issue as there is no reverse lookup zone defined (and in most cases you don't need one).

thank you
In most cases you don't actually NEED a reverse lookup zone - that why you don't get one by default.
Hi,
NSlookup works when you configure your DNS entries ,like Forward Bias and Reverse Bias properly ,forward bias converts Hostname to Ip address and Reverse Bias converts Ip address to Hostname.
