Hi there,

DNS is a Server Role, Its as simple as adding or removing the role?

What exactly are you trying to achieve?

Hi, what exactly do you mean with add new DNS servers to server core? Add new records, forwarders, or install the actual DNS server role on a core?

To remote manage a DNS server on a core you need to install the DNS Server Tools on a 2012 server that has a GUI (usually this is a management server specific for used for managing the environment) through the "Add Roles and Features Wizard".

On a Windows 8 client you could install the RSAT, Remote Server Administration Tools, to get the DNS management tools.

Thanks for getting back. This server needs the DNS servers it currently uses to be changed to new servers. It does not have a DNS role on it
