ad integrated DNS

[cdtech1980]

Hello does DNs have to be installed on a domain controller for AD integrated dns to work?

We have 3 DNS servers all on domain controllers that are AD integrated. I am trying to add one more on server without AD and the option is greyed out. Very strange, not sure what to think of it.

Thank you.

AD integrated DNS requires a DC, since that's where AD is stored.

Does AD integrated DNS require it to be installed on the same machine as the DC? That is the point I was trying to make. Sorry if I was confusing.
Thank you for the response.

Yes, because it's integrated with AD...if it's not on a DC, then it can't integrate with the AD.

It just means my answers are from experience, not a book.

There are no more PDC's! There are DC's with FSMO roles!
