View Full Version : DNS in active directory mode?

Owen
I am going to set up DNS for our company. We are a small
group with a Windows 2000 Domain with one domain server
at the admin site. We have an admin site and a few remote
sites. Some of the remote sites are not part of the
domain. I was wondering if:

Should I set up DNS in Active Directory mode?

If so, will users outside the domain be able to use this
DNS setup?

Also, if the server replicates to secondary zones, do
they have to be part of the Domain?

Regards,

If remote sites can access DNS server they can use it w/o problems.
Secondary servers don't need to be in domain to replicate. It is enough that
they are on notify list for replication.
