Active Directory Integrated DNS + Subdomain

B

Brad Baker

I am wondering if anyone can provide any advice as to how I would go about
setting up a sub-sub-domains (for lack of a better word) on an Active
Directory Integrated DNS server. For instance if I wanted to setup
twig.branch.trunk.com as a domain how would I go about doing that? Windows
won't let me create an A record called twig.branch so I'm not sure what the
correct approach is.

Thanks!

In the trunk.com zone create a new domain named branch, then you can create
a new domain in the branch.trunk.com you just created named twig and so on.
To make these names resolve to IP address create blank hosts with the IP you
want the name to resolve to.

Perfect! Thank you so much! I knew it was possible to do I just couldn't
figure out how to do it.
