Microsoft Corporation Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Deployment Kit(c) Deploying Network Services 2003

Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Domain Name System (DNS) provides efficient name resolution and interoperability with standards-based technologies. Deploying DNS in your client/server infrastructure enables resources on a TCP/IP network to locate other resources on the network by using host name-to-IP address resolution and IP address-to-host name resolution. The Active Directory directory service requires DNS for locating network resources.
