Creating a New Zone

Now it’s time to create the movie.edu zone. Select the name server on the left where you want to create the zone. (There’s only one server now, terminator, but the DNS console could know about multiple servers.) Choose Action New Zone. You’ll see the New Zone Wizard, as in Figure 4-11.

Notice that the option to store this zone’s data in Active Directory is greyed out. Microsoft calls this feature Active Directory integration and we’ll talk about it more in Chapter 8.
