Server Classes
Nearly 50 different
settings
can be configured on a Microsoft DNS Server. They range from
scavenging and logging settings to settings that customize the name
server’s behavior, such as how zone transfers are
sent to secondaries and whether to round-robin responses that include
multiple A records. A name server is represented by an instance of
the
MicrosoftDNS_Server
class. Table 14-1
[2]
contains all the property methods defined in the
MicrosoftDNS_Server class.
