By default, this cmdlet does not generate any output. Specifies the maximum number of concurrent operations that can be established to run the cmdlet. The throttle limit applies only to the current cmdlet, not to the session or to the computer. Specifies the virtualization instance in which the zone will be added. A virtualization instance is logical partition in a DNS Server, which is capable of independently hosting zones and zone scopes. Same name zones and zone scopes can be hosted in different virtualization instances.

This parameter is optional and if not provided it will add the zone into the default virtualization instance which is functionally equivalent to a standard DNS server. If you do not specify this parameter, the cmdlet adds the delegation into the default scope of the zone.

It will start installation, the following window shows the progress of installation. A forward lookup zone is helps to resolve host names to IP addresses. Basically, it is the exact opposite of a forward lookup zone. A reverse lookup zone is not required, but it is easy to configure and will allow for your Windows Server Server to have full DNS functionality.

AD Integrated stores the database information in AD and allows for secure updates to the database file. This option will appear only if AD is configured. If it is configured and you select this option, AD will store and replicate your zone files. A Standard Primary zone stores the database in a text file.

This text file can be shared with other DNS servers that store their information in a text file. Finally, a Standard Secondary zone simply creates a copy of the existing database from another DNS server. This is primarily used for load balancing. Step 3: Click on the Yes,create the forward lookup zone now on the forward lookup zone window. Step 4: Click on the desired zone that you want to create, in this case Primary Zone. But then again, that takes time Remember, you are saving yourself time, AND the company money by following best practices.

Reload that server. Your evenings and weekends are to valuable. Thank you all for your responses. I left the server on last night and when I came in today the DNS role was no longer grayed out. I was able to remove the role. I don't exactly know why it was grayed out in the first place, but oh well. Unfortunately I was unable to convince Mgmt to allow me to start from scratch, but that's okay. If the server gives me any issues I can always explain to them that they forced me to set it up in an incorrect manner.
