Lesson 3: Configuring DNS Client Settings

A DNS infrastructure requires configuration for clients as well as for servers. In a typical business network, DNS clients are configured through settings inherited through DHCP or from Active Directory domain membership. However, for computers with static IP configurations, as well as for some outside of an Active Directory environment, you need to define DNS client settings manually. This lesson describes the DNS settings that affect a computer’s ability to resolve DNS names successfully and to have its own name resolved by other querying computers.
