Setting Up DNS Data

Let’s configure the first of Movie U.’s name servers. We’ll use the DNS console for most of this process, so start it up if you haven’t already done so. You don’t have to run the DNS console on the machine running the name server, but for now it’s easier if you do. You’ll also need to have Administrator privileges to use the DNS console; otherwise, you’ll only be able to start the application, not manage any name servers with it.
