Hi Walexand,
I have pasted a step by step article on how to install DNS server.
To Install the Windows 2000 DNS Service Windows 2000 Server
=======================================================
Click Start, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel.
Double-click Add/Remove Programs and then click Add/Remove Windows
Components.b
In the Windows Component Wizard, click Networking Services from the
Components list, and then click Details.
In the Networking Services dialog box, click to select the Domain Name
System (DNS) check box if it is not already selected, and then click OK.
In the Windows Components Wizard, click Next to start Windows 2000 Setup.
Insert the Windows 2000 Advanced Server CD into the CD-ROM drive if you are
prompted. Setup copies the DNS server and tool files to your computer.
When the installation is complete, click Finish.
Creating the Active Directory
=========================
After you have installed Windows 2000 Server or Windows 2000 Advanced
Server on a standalone server, run the Active Directory Wizard to create
the new Active Directory forest or domain and convert the Windows 2000
server into the first domain controller (DC) in the forest. To convert a
Windows 2000 server into the first DC in the forest:
Place the Windows 2000 CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive.
Click Start, click Run, and then type dcpromo.
Click OK to start the Active Directory Installation Wizard, and then click
Next.
Click Domain Controller for a new domain, and then click Next.
Click Create a new domain tree, and then click Next.
Click Create a new forest of domain trees, and then click Next.
Specify the full DNS name for the new Active Directory. Note that because
this procedure is for a laboratory environment and you are not integrating
this environment into your existing DNS infrastructure, you can use
something generic such as mycompany.local for this setting. Click Next.
Accept the default domain NetBIOS name (this is "mycompany" if you used the
suggestion in step 7). Click Next.
Set the database and log file location to the default setting of the
c:\winnt\ntds folder, and then click Next.
Set the Sysvol folder location to the default setting of the
c:\winnt\sysvol folder, and then click Next.
Click Install and Configure DNS and then click Next.
Click Permissions compatible only with Windows 2000 Servers, and then click
Next.
Because this is a laboratory environment, leave the password for the
"Directory Services Restore Mode Administrator" blank. Note that in a full
production environment, this would be set by using a secure password
format. Click Next.
Review and confirm the options you selected, and then click Next.
During the installation of Active Directory, the Configuring Active
Directory progress meter appears. Note that this operation may take several
minutes.
When you are prompted, restart the computer. After the computer restarts,
confirm that the DNS service location records for the new domain controller
have been created. To confirm that the DNS service location records have
been created:
Click Start, click Programs, click Administrative Tools, and then click DNS
to start the DNS Administrator Console.
Click the server name, click Forward Lookup Zones, click the domain name,
and then expand the domain.
Verify that the _msdcs, _sites, _tcp, and _udp folders are present. These
folders and the service location records they contain, are critical to
Active Directory and Windows 2000 operations.
Hope it meets your requirements.
Sincerely,
