troubleshooting Question
Microsoft DNS on Windows Server 2012 R2
asked on
We have a couple of different scenarios.
The first: DNS is on a Windows Server 2012 R2 DC. Let's pretend this server IP address is 192.168.42.31.
The second: DNS is on a Windows Server 2012 R2 Member Server.Let's pretend this server IP address is 192.168.42.51.
My question: How should the IPV4 Properties be set for the Preferred DNS Server and Alternate DNS Server in each scenario? I've read/heard different things--and had some weird results when I've implemented some suggestions--and I want a definitive "This is what you should do and why." type of answer.
I grabbed the picture below from the net just in case it will help explain what I'm looking for.
Not that it signifies, but we do allow DHCP to update DNS.
