After installation, Micetro contains no data about DNS servers. These need to be added.
DNS servers require Micetro Agents and need to
be added using their fully qualified names, such as
dns1.europe.ad.mmdemo.local.
Services are managed on the Service management tab of the Admin page. To add a new service, select Add service on the task bar.
For more information and instructions, refer to Adding a service in the Micetro Admin Guide.
DNS servers in Active Directory-integrated zones
The DNS Agent will use two different methods to retrieve information from Microsoft AD integrated zones. First it will do a zone transfer (both full and incremental) to get the latest records for the zone and then it will use Microsoft APIs to get detailed information for individual records. Due to this it is important that the DNS Agent is allowed to do a zone transfer from the local server.
- First, it performs a zone transfer (both full and incremental) to get the latest records for the zone.
- Then, it uses Microsoft APIs to get detailed information for individual records.
As a result, it's important that the DNS Agent is allowed to perform a zone transfer from the local server. The DNS Agent on the DNS server must be able to transfer AD integrated zones from the local DNS server.
