iphonogasm Posted May 8, 2012 Posted May 8, 2012 Its up to you really.. Having a small network running DNS really has no advantage other than a bit more security running ADDS. You can setup active directory domain services, to handle any DNS changes. So its really up to you, i have setup DNS on an extremely small network purely for training purposes. Which works well, but it would be easier to have the router resolve all DNS for you... DNS is designed more for larger networks to make it easier to remember computer names over IP addresses hope this helps! Quote
VasantRagit Posted July 18, 2012 Posted July 18, 2012 I want to know that is there any way to access machine by using its name without adding it into a domain? We have tried for it, result is as per below. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- C:\Users\abc>nslookup - 192.168.90.6 Default Server: UnKnown Address: 192.168.90.6 > dc1 Server: UnKnown Address: 192.168.90.6 *** UnKnown can't find dc1: Server failed --------------------------------------------------------------------------- If we add client machine in a domain then it will work properly.

ICTCity Posted July 19, 2012 Posted July 19, 2012 Of course it works if it's in domain. If you specify the DNS server you don't have to join domain. Let's say your dns is @ 192.168.1.100 you set this DNS IP to client's config and then you will be able to reach your machine by name. Check you test: C:\Users\abc>nslookup - 192.168.90.6 Default Server: UnKnown Address: 192.168.90.6 If your machine doesn't have a DNS it will never resolve yours names.
