Dynamic DNS

Dynamic DNS (DDNS) was developed as an answer to the problem of DNS tables having to be manually updated when changes were made. DDNS in Windows Server 2012 automatically updates the DNS table based on registrations, and can work in conjunction with Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) to automatically process DNS changes as clients are added and removed from the network infrastructure. DDNS is not required for AD DS to function properly, but it makes administration much easier than previous manual methods.
