Problem to setup DNS server on Windows Server 2016
Hello,
I have problem to setup my DNS server on Windows Server 2016 Standard.
But from beginning.
I have installed Hyper-V 2016, on this I create Virtual Machine, and setup there Windows Server 2016.
My ActiveDirectory works fine, and I want to add DNS server.
I follow many tutorials on YouTube, and everyone have more folders/files in DNS Manager, on forward zone to be exactly.
I have attached 2 screens:
- One is from YouTube where files and folders are visible.
- Second is from my server where I dont see this files/folders.
Can I ask for help? Because I can't figure it out. I dont have ideas.
I was reinstalling AD, DNS and nothing.
Thank You in advance,
Greetings.
Jacob.
By default your new domain controller is also a DNS server. Are you adding a second one? Make sure the new DC and all clients or members have the static address of DC listed for DNS and no others such as router or public DNS.

I would like to ask. Yes, I have install fresh AD with DNS Server.
My server has IP 192.168.xxx.201 so I put it into primary DNS on server, secondary DNS is empty.
On Client, I have IP 192.168.xxx.210 so I put primary DNS 192.168.xxx.201 and secondary DNS is empty.
Here are some screenshots. I will write about it now.DNS MANAGERDNS MANAGERDNS MANAGERServer TCP/IPClient TCP/IPClient AddDomain
A couple of things;
I'd change from 16 bit to 24 bit mask on both server and client.
Also check that both DC and problem client got the domain firewall profile on network connection,
When you do the domain join also try using just the domain NetBIOS name
Hello,
Do you have any machine configured to actually use this new DNS server? I am guessing that you have just created the DNS server using the wizard. you are now looking in the DNS zone but do not see any records? Try setting the servers IP manually and point it to the new DNS server or use 127.0.0.1.
Hope that helps
If I can help more let me know.
