Tests a single target of the forwarder.
This monitor is disabled by default as your DNS server may not be able to reach the internet to resolve www.microsoft.com . If your DNS server can reach the internet and you wish to test your unconditional forwarder with that record, simply enable the monitor via an override. You may also target a different host via override if www.microsoft.com is not suitable to your needs.
Interval Seconds: The interval at which this monitor performs a NSLOOKUP.
Script Timeout Seconds: The total time SCOM will allow the script to run before terminating it.
Query Timeout Seconds: Used for the -timeout option of NSLOOKUP.
Query Type: Used for the -querytype option of NSLOOKUP. Acceptable values are: A, CNAME, PTR, NS, or SOA.
Host Name: The host record to be resolved by NSLOOKUP.
Server: The server to which NSLOOKUP should direct the query.
Accept Non Authoritative: Whether or not SCOM should accept a Non-authoritative response to NSLOOKUP.
