DNS Server Active Directory Integration

You can configure the DNS Server service to use Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) to store zone data. This makes it possible for the DNS server to rely on directory replication, which enhances security, reliability, and ease of administration.

The DNS server directory partition is missing or incorrectly configured (Cause)Create the DNS directory partition (Resolution)

Domain Name System (DNS) zones can be stored in the domain or application directory partitions of Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS). You can correct Problem related to accessing directory partitions by creating a default application directory partition.

To perform this procedure, you must have membership in Administrators, or you must have been delegated the appropriate authority.

To create a forest-wide and domain-wide DNS directory partition:

  1. On the DNS server, start Server Manager. To start Server Manager, click Start, click Administrative Tools, and then click Server Manager.
  2. In the console tree, expand Roles, expand DNS Server, and then expand DNS.
  3. Right-click the DNS server, and then click Create Default Application Directory Partitions.
  4. Follow the instructions to create the DNS application directory partitions.
