| Value | Meaning |

| 2 | This zone only accepts secure dynamic update requests. This option is available only on zones that are integrated with Active Directory. |
To change the value of this entry, use the DNS console. Right-click the zone name, click Properties, click the General tab. This entry corresponds to the Dynamic update drop-down box. Do not change this value by editing the registry.
DNS reads its registry entries only when it starts. You can change entries while the DNS server is running by using the DNS snap-in. If you change entries by editing the registry, the changes are not effective until you restart the DNS server.
Note
This entry is effective only in a primary DNS zone. Otherwise, the entry is ignored.
