Installing DNS in a Workgroup Environment
We have a workgroup environment and want to use Windows DNS for various reasons.
How do I add a second DNS server and make it authoritative in the sense that you can make changes on it and it will replicate to others and vice versa?

Hi iSiek!
Yes it is, you have to specify zone transfer servers to which zones can be replicated (but there would be only secondaries).
Each zone can only have one standard Primary zone. When Primary would go down, you need to manually modify one of secondaries to primary.

Thanks all. yes unfortunately we're not using AD. I also did set up only transfer to certain IPs (not even automatically to each in Nameservers tab). We're not pointing this to a linux or BIND install either.
Thanks everyone!
Thanks everyone!
You're welcome :)

And if the primary goes down, the secondary's can respond but need to be marked as primary before you can make changes?
Lastly, is there a way to automatically transfer all zones, or do you have to run the wizard for each one on the new secondary?
Thanks!
