Is there a way to do DNS modifications (Active Directory) with VB 6 (or
something else)?

Kind Regards,

For AD programming, you need to learn ADSI. There are tons of ADSI samples
located at
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/treeview/default.asp?url=/technet/scriptcenter/default.asp

You can't find a way to download what ? WMI ? WMI providers are part of your
OS (Windows XP,2000,2003). For older client there are some providers located
at the msdn . Just search MSDN for WMI, or get a good book on WMI (Windows
2000 Scripting guide is quite good - also for ADSI).

It is automatically installed with the DNS server on Windows Server 2003.
With Windows 2000, it is available with the resource kit. It used to be
available via this ftp site:
ftp://ftp.microsoft.com/reskit/win2000/dnsprov.zip

BUT, the version with the resource kit is pretty buggy and quite a bit
different from the current docs. Then again, the Windows Server 2003
version is often not documented correctly in MSDN either.

If you need more examples of the DNS provider, you might want to check here:

Let me know if you have any questions.

Well, I can read that question a couple of different ways. The key point is
that the DNS provider can work on the Windows 2000 DNS server and is
supported by default on Windows Server 20003 DNS server. It doesn't matter
if the DNS server is also a domain controller or not. And it does support
AD-integrated zones.
