DNS

HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\

Description

The DNS subkey stores configuration information for the Domain Name System (DNS) server.

DNS associates IP addresses and other data identifying a computer with the computer's display name, such as host.reskit.com.

Activation method

DNS reads its registry entries only when it starts. You can change entries while the DNS server is running by using the DNS console. If you change entries by editing the registry, the changes are not effective until you restart the DNS server.

Tip

This subkey stores data for the DNS server. To configure DNS dynamic update on the DNS client, see the following entries in the Tcpip subkey:

EnableAdapterDomainNameRegistration
DisableDynamicUpdate
