trouble shooting tool for DNS are windows 2000 server and NS lookup exe.the tool performs DNS queries and debugs DNS problems.Ns look up.exeis used in interactive and non-interactive modes. The mode is use dfor looking up a single data. It is Dns record.to use Ns lookup in non interactive modetype ns lookup _name of the record_ the name of the DNS server {that is to be questioned} Interactive mode is more powerful. To enter the mode typeNs lookup at the command prompt{ns lookup prompt} you can use special commandsas setor isthat is used to list all recordsor records of a giventype ina specified domain{ for the list of all commands type].The simple use is a queryfor a record.
