Summary

In this chapter we examined the various activities involved in configuring network services such as DNS, DHCP, and WINS. We began the chapter by looking at installing DNS on a Windows Server 2008 computer. We then looked at creating DNS zones, records, and reporting on current configuration. Then we moved to WINS, where we printed out the configuration of our WINS database. Finally, we concluded the chapter by looking managing DHCP. In fact, because both WINS and DHCP are often installed on the same server and are still considered to be corresponding services, we developed a single script that manages both services.
