Domain + DNS on remote server
Posted by Brian Henry on March 7th, 2004


I am trying to teach windows server things to myself. Right now I was
wondering if it is possible to have a DNS server remotely and still have a
domain on my windows 2003 standard box. So all DNS stuff would be done on my
DNS server (not in the domain) then the w2k3 server would handel the
domains... this is how i want to set it up


* W2K3 Standard server - Domain controller
* DNS Server - remote location DNS
I have the domain name cyber-arts.. right now it points to a w2k web server
box, but i want the host exchange.cyber-arts.com to point ot my new W2K3
domain.

Any idea's on how I should start doing this? I have ran DCPROMO before to
get a domain set up but when I get to the DNS part thats where I get stuck
with the remote dns server problem... thanks!
