Understanding the Evolution of Microsoft DNS
Windows Server 2012’s implementation of AD DS expands upon the advanced feature set that Windows 2000 DNS introduced and was expanded again in Windows Server 2003 and Windows Server 2008. Several key functional improvements were added, but the overall design and functionality changes have not been significant enough to change any Windows 2008 design decisions that were previously made regarding DNS.
