When I type command nslookup in command prompt, It's shows
following.

C:\>nslookup
*** Can't find server name for address 192.168.0.100: Non-
existent domain
*** Default servers are not available
Default Server: UnKnown
Address: 192.168.0.100

Why is shows Default Server unknown.

My DNS configuration is created during AD installation
with defults.

Create a reverse zone for 192.168.0 and make sure there's a PTR entry for
192.168.0.100.

When nslookup starts it tries to find a PTR record for the default DNS being
used. If it can't find it then it'll report an error but you can safely
ignore it. I do. Or if you like you can add the reverse zone and the PTR
record for the server and the message will go away.

It doesn't matter for nslookup whether the reverse lookup zone in AD
integrated or Standard. Just as long as it is there and there is a PTR
record for your DNS server.
