recently, i was given the task of setting up a DNS server... i will be using an 800 mhz pentium III machine, 128 mb of RAM. the network is using NT 4 sp6. the question is, i have never set up a DNS server and quite frankly i dont know where to start, can i ask the so called experts to point me in the right direction and i promise i won't be stingy with the tech points... if there are any other things that i have skipped please feel free to comment on it and i will try to fill in the gaps as much as i could... thank you...

Hey! Where did that 'space' come from? Please note that it's ... /planguide/dnswp.asp

As answer 1 mentioned, installing is easy, making sure its configured correctly can take a little work, and its best to have a good understanding of what, and how DNS works. An excellent reference book is: DNS on Windows NT ISBN#1565925114.

Understanding how DNS works prior to the install will definetly help.
If your network is considering a move to Windows 2000, I would look into installing a W2K server running Dynamic DNS.
It will be easier to set up and you'll be one step ahead for the migration.

Even though it says windows2000faq in the URL , they have procedures for NT4 as well
