SUMMARY
=======
As with most of the Windows NT services, you can administer a Windows NT Domain
Name Service (DNS) Server remotely from a computer running Windows NT that is
not running the DNS Server. This article discusses the method for accomplishing
this.
MORE INFORMATION
================
To remotely administer a Windows NT DNS Server, you will need to copy the DNS
Manager, Dnsadmin.exe, to the %SystemRoot%\System32 folder of the target
computer where you will do the administration. Dnsadmin.exe can be found in one
of the following locations:
- In the %SystemRoot%\System32 folder of your current Windows NT DNS Server.
-or-
- In the <platform> folder of your original Windows NT CD. To expand the
DNS Manager from this CD, you will need to insert your Windows NT CD into
your CD-ROM drive, type the following at a command prompt, and then press
Enter:
expand D:\<platform>\Dnsadmin.ex_ C:\Winnt\System32\Dnsadmin.exe
where D: is the letter of your CD drive and C:\Winnt is the folder your target
Windows NT installation is located.
NOTE: The computer that you wish to run Dnsadmin.exe from must have the TCP/IP
protocol installed and configured correctly and you must have local
Administrative privileges at the DNS Server that you wish to administer.
