DNS for small enterprise

dear dns experts,

please suggest. have installed dns server role server act dns server local area connection computers(clients).
i got question being newbie this.
1. have started dns manager console using wizard configured dns server.
2. have created new zone "forward lookup zones" indicating dns servers(dns1/dns2) of internet provider.
a subfolder name of domainname created under "forward lookup zones" on left pane. on right pane 2 objects created by-default:
2.1 (same parent folder) ->type: soa
2.2 (same parent folder) ->type: ns

everything else left untouched, default.

please let me know whether dns service function in case ? or have manually make changes records dns function ?


please provide suggestion read enough literature reffering dns configurations , couldn't find artice explaining detailed, step step configuration guide dns service.

p.s.
in dns manager console running properties of server switched on tab "monitoring" make tests for:
1. simple query against dns server
2. recursive query other dns servers

all tests passed sucessfully.

i not sure have picture of dns setup, understand, might have trouble if try add domain controller.

 

usually, when setting dns, create forward dns zone name of domain (domain.com).  then, open command line on domain controller(s) , type:

 

net stop netlogon

net start netlogon

 

if domain controller using dns server, populate appropriate service records dns zone have created.

 

after domain dns configured, set dns server to foward requests dns servers isp provides by:

 

right clicking dns server , selecting properties

entering ip addresses of dns servers in "domains forwarder ip list"

 

i hope helps,
