Hi, I have a DNS server running BIND 8.4.6 function correctly, my inquire is how i can configure it to work with Active Directory without a Windows DNS server. Some things that are very important is what the Linux Server and Active Directory Controller are behind a router, they haven't a private adress like a 192.168.0.x . If somebody can help me and the information is not complete here's my email to contact to me oahumada@gmail.com
Thanks
If your AD is already installed and configured, with windows's DNS service, all you have to do is take everything in %systemroot%\system32\config\NETLOGON.DNS and to copy it in your zone file. then restart named
or have windows 2k3 update the dns records himself. instructions can be found at this link.

(added a space after the http because i cannot put links until i have at least 3 posts...)
add: @ tangle : Linux DNS can be primary. just have to configure your linux dns properly.
Is that true with a 2003 AD? I know is an NT domain it could.
i have done it in class, a year and a half ago. me and my classmate were the only one who figured it out.
but ya it works. BIND rox.
our AD was already installed and configured with the windows dns service, so all we did was pull all the info in that NETLOGON.DNS file and copy it in my named.<whatever> file. i had actually 2 AD in class, so added both AD's informations one after an other in the dns file. then disabled the windows DNS service and everything kept working.
thankz for comments. I need check something , explain that i did.
i create a master zone that contain:
zone "dcm.dominio.cl" IN {
type master;
file "db.dcm.dominio.cl"
allow-update {192.168.0.29;zeus.;};
check-names ignore;
};
where 192.168.0.29 is an internal ip adress
then the name of dcm.dominio.cl is not a valid subdomain name and almost the name of a controller domain is zeus.dcm.dominio.cl is not a valid Fully qualified name Server and the success visor give to me errors.
my questions is how-to i must configure the router and the zone for answer the queries from outside of my lan and this function is completly.
i will give important data
external ip adress 200.72.141.x
private ip adress of Bind Server 192.168.0.3
private ip adress of controller domain 192.168.0.2
Thankz for all coments. Problem Fixed, just was necesary create a master zone with the data in the /etc/bind/named.conf
zone "dcm.dominio.cl" IN {
type master;
file "db.dcm.dominio.cl"
allow-update {192.168.0.29;zeus.;};
check-names ignore;
};
and copy paste the code in the NETLOGON.DNS (of a windows server) to the db.dcm.dominio.cl
and it's all.
Thankz
