I previously had Win2K Pro installed on my computer and was able to view DNS information by installing the ADMINpak and using ADMIN TOOLS-DNS to view all the computers and their relevant IP address that are in a domain.

The problem is that I justinstalled WIN2K Server and I am now unable to gain access to the same information.

Can someone tell me what I need to do to be able to get this information??? Incidentally, I opened up DNS and I am now only able to view my computer information. Is there a step that I missed in configuring my system?

Thanks for your resonse!!

1)Install DNS service on new server(You have done so since you can view your system)
2)Open dnsmgmt.msc
3)Right click And connect to dns server(Primary or secondary)
4)All Info on server is displayed

Thanks for the response; however, I can't seem to get this to work. Do you have another suggestion??

With the DNS mgmt. console open, right-click the "DNS" object in the left-hand pane and select "Connect to computer". Connect to the DNS server that you want to administer by selecting "The following computer" and typing in the computer name. Hopethis helps!
