Nslookup display
Nslookup display
I am sitting at the DNS server 10.25.17.11 and issuing NSlookup and getting the following:
C:\Documents and Settings\XX.YYI>nslookup dc1.YYcom
*** Can't find server name for address 10.25.17.11: Non-existent domain
Server: UnKnown
Address: 10.25.17.11
Name: dc1.YY.com
Address: 10.25.17.11
can you tell where the issue is?
Thanks

The error it throws should be considered a warning rather than a hard-error. It will still successfully lookup names (and IPs), but it will always fail the check when starting without both A and PTR records.

It is possible to actually live quite happily without reverse lookups in simple setups.

so if I just type Nslookup by itself. it will take it as typing Nslookup IPaddress?
If you run nslookup on it's own it will open the nslookup prompt. It's just nslookup, as a program, does two checks whenever you connect to a DNS server, it looks for the Host (A) record for the name, and the Pointer (PTR) record for the IP.
