DNS represents AD's foundation, and all clients connected to an AD require a working and correct DNS in order to access resources. DNS has had several security flaws with significant impact. From an attacker's point of view, an unsecured or relaxed DNS environment is probably the best attack vector against an AD. Microsoft's TechNet white paper on securing an AD environment discusses best practices for securing DNS, in Chapter 6 (http://technet2.microsoft.com/windowsserver/en/library/cc1eff0a-3a9e-46d2-8a7d-6b2e16461c711033.mspx).

Another attack vector is DNS poisoning , which means that an attacker successfully modifies entries in the DNS database, which then causes client requests to resolve incorrectly.
