Help setting up DNS correctly in Windows Server 2012
-
Saturday, January 05, 2013 5:39 PM
My new install of Windows Server 2012 is set up as only a domain controller. I want to set it up to resolve address, give out the addresses for my small business and use Exchange which will use GoDaddy as an IP. I have that and a static IP.
Can someone assist me please.

Hi ,
Firstly, please let us know the following:1. Do you want this server serve for your internal domain or Internet queries?
2. What is the current configuration of your DNS Server?
It seems that you would like to make your domain available from the Internet, if so, we can refer to the similar TechNet thread to begin the setup.
How to configure DNS server to route a domain name to an ip address
Also, please refer to Configure Mail Flow and Client Access
Hope this helps.

I think you mean to "resolve addresses" is for internal use, not your public domain name. If you want to use it for a public domain name, I really don;t suggest that due to numerous reasons with it being a domain controller, the records registered by the DC, and the fact that you're exposing it on the internet. I refcommend to simply use GoDaddy's DNS service for your public domain name.
Install DHCP so it will give out IP addresses for the internal network. Setup the scopes with these options:
- Option 003 - (Gateway) Router's IP
- Option 006 - (DNS) - the IP of the DC.
- Option 015 - (internal domain suffix) your AD domain.local
.
There's much more, including port translating SMTP (25), Web (80) and SecureWeb (443) in your firewall to the Exchange server, and of course I assume you will not install Exchange on your DC - Exchange on a DC is not recommended for multiple reasons.
You may want to also read this recent thread about someone wanting to do the same thing:

Thank you. The information you have given me is part of what I am wanting to do. I also am having a problem connecting client computers to the domain server and setting up either remote access or remote desktop services. Not sure which one is need so all of us can work on the web site. I have three workstations running Windows 7, 2 workstations running Windows 8, 2 tables and two smartphones that I would like my server to control the IP addresses they are using.
Thank you

I am trying to fix it so that My domain server gives out the IP addresses for all the workstations that will be used for building my websites. I am getting a message regarding authentication on all the workstations. They try to connect to the domain but can not get out to the internet. The workstations are running Window 7 and Windows 8. I also have two tables and two smart phones that use Wi-Fi.
Could some one please answer this as soon as possible because I have no way to use these workstations now unless I put in an address that the server is trying to give it.
Thank you
LadyDee

To make sure you can connect, or rather the correct term is "join" to the domain, is that ALL machines must only use the domain controller's IP address for DNS. You cannot use GoDaddy's DNS address on any internal machine's NIC. It simply will not work. All machines, including the DC itself, must only use the DC for DNS. Here's why:
Active Directory's Reliance on DNS, and why you should never use an ISP's DNS address or your router as a DNS address, or any other DNS server that does not host the AD zone name

http://msmvps.com/blogs/acefekay/archive/2009/08/17/ad-and-its-reliance-on-dns.aspxIf you are using GoDaddy's, the router as a DNS address, Comcast or anything else, then nothing will be able to "find" the server or the domain. It's like me asking the first guy I see walking by the house, "Hey, where the beer that was in the fridge last night?" He will not have that answer. Same thing goes when a machine, or the DC itself queries DNS, "Hey, what's the internal private IP of my domain controller?" Does GoDaddy have that answer? No - how could they?

So are you saying the domain server should the should use the domain DNS address. I am assuming DC is the domain controller. So I should plug in the static ip, subnet mast, and should the gateway be the router. On the clients and domain I only need to plug in the doman static IP in use the following DNS. Is this correct. If so I am almost finish except for remote desktop and remote access.
Thank you

Yes, absolutely. The domain server is the DC. That should be the only DNS address on ALL machine's NICs.
The gateway is the router's IP - set on all machines.
On the DC, type in itself for the DNS address as the first entry. Remove Google's or anything else in there.
For client machines, if they are static IP configuration, yes, type in the DC's IP address. If they are DHCP, please see my previous post for the DHCP Options.

Glad to be of help. :-)
Also, I thought to post this example diagram of a basic AD network setup and settings that include IP guidelines, DNS settings, wireless (if needed), and firewall settings.
Disclaimer: I used 192.168.1.0/24 as an example, but I should have changed it when I made the diagram, because usually stress not to use that IP range, because it is the same as the retail box routers, and if you were to setup VPN access, and someone at home has the same IP range, they will not be able to access company resources.
I hope you and others find it helpful.

Something is still going on. I made the changes to all workstation and it worked, then I shut them down and came back up and only the server is working. I had to plug in an address on this laptop to get out. I also just rebooted the router which is Comcast.

I modified the diagram. Make sure all your machines are set using this guideline.
Note: in my diagram, I show a modem/router (Comcast, Verizon, etc) and a Cisco firewall. Do you have a firewall, or do you only have a Comcast modem/router?
.

LadyDee - post the following please to help diagnose this further:
- On the DC, open a Command prompt and run: ipconfig /all > c:\dcIpConfig.txt
- On a sample workstation, open a Command prompt and run: ipconfig /all > c:\ClientIpConfig.txt
- Post the text files, please.

I have a Comcast Model, know the IP but do not know the userid and password. I have an ASUS router which I can get into and stop, make changes or reboot. It is also used for the following: external USB disk, digital media server, digital media player - tv, digital media player - computers.

Dee, thanks for posting that info.
From what I see, the client seems to be ok, since you've manually set the server's IP for DNS (192.168.1.11). And you're still having problems?
Maybe part of the problem after changing the server is that you didn't restart it, or run the following commands:
- ipconfig /registerdns
- net stop netlogon
- net start netlogon
Then you have to make sure all the SRV and other records show up in DNS. You should see two zones with lots of records under it:
- ladydeeswebs.net
- _msdcs.ladydeeswebs.net
.
ALso, you'll want to make sure this checkbox is set to eliminate the "::1" DNS entry on the server:

.
Definitely install and use DHCP on the server, and disable DHCP (IP Distribution) in the Comcast modem. I believe the username/password to get into the Comcast unit, unless you've changed it, is:
- Username: cusadmin
- Password: highspeed
Follow the DHCP Options recommendations in my second picture that I added under the server when you configure DHCP on the server.
.

Thursday, January 10, 2013 3:47 PMI posted the Comcast modem username and password for you. But if you have an ASUS router, assuming that's 192.168.1.1, then that's where you have to disable DHCP. Don't make any changes to the Comcast modem.

I have done everything you said so far. The Asus Router is 198.162.1.1, so I should disable DHCP here?
If I had not manually put an ip address in the server, would this work because the router has the static ip.

Thursday, January 10, 2013 6:33 PMAs I said, yes, disable DHCP on the Asus router. The router is the gateway address for all machines, that's all it should show as.

If it was working the night before, then you woke up and nothing's now working, then there must be something else going on. Was something else changed on the Asus firewall?
Event log errors?
Is the Asus configured to go to sleep after inactivity?
.
Ping the following from a workstation, and post the results, please.
- Ping the gateway - ping 192.168.1.1
- ping 192.168.1.11 (the server)
- ping LadydeeServer.ladydeeswebs.net
- ping 4.2.2.2
- ping www.yahoo.com?
Then run nslookup from a workstation:
- nslookup LadydeeServer.ladydeeswebs.net
- nslookup www.yahoo.com
Then run nslookup from the server:
- nslookup LadydeeServer.ladydeeswebs.net
- nslookup www.yahoo.com
.
What I provided is a standard, no-frills, basic AD infrastructure setup that basically just works. I'm very surprised to hear that it worked the night before, then now it doesn't. It almost seems like it's the Asus firewall.

Change the pool from .100 to .200. Your current pool is overlapping the server's IP.
Please go into IPv6 NIC properties in the server, and set DNS to get IP automatically.
From the results, you can't access anything in the outside world. Thats either an ISP problem, Comcast modem problem, or an Asus router problem. Hard to tell because there are multiple things involved.
I believe at this time, I recommend hiring an IT consulting company or someone in your area that can set this up for you.

In IPv6 I have it set to get an IP address and in automatically use ::1 DNS.
Should I disable the firewall in the asus router?

I changes to pool to 192.169.1.12
to
192.168.1.54
In IPv6 I have it set to get an IP address and in automatically use ::1 DNS.
Should I disable the firewall in the asus router?
The firewall is disabled in the modem.

Do not use the ::1 address.
Set it to obtain Automatically, like this:

I got in touch with a friend that I used to work with 4 years ago. He was able to get me up and running. I do know that I missed one step you had given me and I think after doing that it worked
003 Router - 192.168.1.1
006 DNS Servers - 192.168.1.11
015 DNS Domain Name - ladydeeswebs.nets
Then we authenticated.
I am going to keep the information you have given me in case I after need it again.
Thank you so much, you were great and I appreciate you working with me on this.
