This Windows Server 2022 Tutorial covers how to Install Domain Name System (DNS) on Windows Server 2022. Domain Name System is a name resolution service that provides a naming system for computers, services, and other resources in the network. The DNS Server resolves computer names or other hostnames to IP addresses and IP addresses to computer names or other hostnames. A DNS zone is the specific portion of a DNS namespace hosted on a DNS server and it contains resource records. The DNS records contain the information that DNS servers send in response to DNS requests.
