Answer 1

Hi, I would love to answer you with this question, hope you will like an answer and get to know how to create and configure DNS zones and records

DNS zone is an area for the DNS entries for any domain to connect with. These may be in the different servers and created and configured differently in Linux and windows. So we would be creating and configuring the DNS zone and record in the Windows server

Creating DNS zone

• Open server manager > DNS
• Select server and click DNS manager
• Forward lookup zone > new zone
• Next click on the welcome screen
• Zone type > primary > next
• Zone name > name of your zone > next
• Next > Next < finish

Creating the DNS records

• Server manager > DNS
• Server > DNS manager
• Expand the forward lookup zones
• Select domain name and the record type you want to create
• Now create different types of records like adding IP addresses to domain
• creating MX records to control mail exchange
• Name server records confirms the server control

For the configuration of the records and the zone click on Zone file (Zone name / Domain name)> Properties and now configure accordingly as per the requirements.
