By: Jordan Krause

Overview of this book

Written by a nine-time Microsoft MVP award winner with over twenty years of experience working in IT, Mastering Windows Server 2019 is a hands-on guide for anyone looking to keep their skills up to date. This third edition comes with four new chapters to provide you with the in-depth knowledge needed to implement and use this operating system in any environment. Centralized management, monitoring, and configuration of servers are key to an efficient IT department. This book delves into multiple methods for quickly managing all your servers from a ‘single pane of glass' — the ability to monitor different servers across a network using Server Manager, Windows PowerShell, and even Windows Admin Center — from anywhere. Despite the focus on Windows Server 2019 LTSC, you will still explore containers and Nano Server, which are more related to the SAC of server releases. This additional coverage will give you insights into all aspects of using Windows Server 2019 in your environment. This book covers a range of remote access technologies available in this operating system, teaches management of PKI and certificates, and empowers you to virtualize your datacenter with Hyper-V. You will also discover the tools and software included with Windows Server 2019 that assist in the inevitable troubleshooting of problems that crop up.

Types of DNS zones

You are now familiar with creating different types of DNS records, but that information is only going to enable you to create new records inside of an existing DNS zone. At present in our test lab, we have only one DNS zone available to us, contoso.local, which was created automatically when we built the contoso.local domain. As of right now, computers who are using one of my contoso.local domain controllers as their DNS server are only able to look up DNS records that I have plugged into my DNS zone.

With DNS Server provided by Windows Server 2019, you can certainly build out many different DNS zones, to increase name resolution capabilities in your network. There are plenty of different reasons why you might want to create additional DNS zones, and you should understand what types of zones are available to implement. Let's take a minute and discuss the different types of zones available to us.
