Hi,<br />
I have an SBS 2008 server. In the DNS configuration, should I use forwarders to my WAN router or ISP DNS, or just root hints. If the server is set to use just root hints, does something need to be entered or modified on the Root Hints tab of the DNS server properties, or will it work with the pre-filled FQDNs? I ask because none of the IP addresses for the existing names is listed. They all say &quot;Unknown&quot;.<br />
Thanks,<br />

DNS Root Hints

Small Business Server (SBS) is a line of server operating systems targeted at small businesses by bundling the operating system with a number of other Microsoft products that would normally need to be purchased or licensed separately. The most notable inclusions are Exchange, SQL Server, SharePoint and ISA/TMG (Microsoft's firewall and proxy server).

The Windows operating systems have distinct methodologies for designing and implementing networks, and have specific systems to accomplish various networking processes, such as Exchange for email, Sharepoint for shared files and programs, and IIS for delivery of web pages. Microsoft also produces server technologies for networked database use, security and virtualization.
