To get the list of All DNS, DFS and DHCP servers in domain?
Question
Answers
-
For getting the DNS server list
dsquery server -limit 0
Unfortunately, that will only get you all DCs in a domain.
.
To find all the DNS servers in a forest or domain, here are a few methods:
NLTEST command:
- nltest /dnsgetdc:<forestname.com>
- nltest /dnsgetdc:<domainName.com>
.
NSLOOKUP command:
- nslookup
- set ns
- domain.com
- This will list all the nameserver records authoritive for a domain. This may not be 100% accurate, depending if there are old servers in the nameserver list that may have been orphaned, IPs were changes, etc, and weren't cleaned up. Run DNSLINT first to check nameserver accuracy, and if it returns unknown servers, remove them from the Nameservers list under the zone's properties, Nameserver tab.
