SUMMARY
As with most of the Windows NT services, you can administer a Windows NT Domain Name Service (DNS) Server remotely from a computer running Windows NT that is not running the DNS Server. This article discusses the method for accomplishing this.



MORE INFORMATION
To remotely administer a Windows NT DNS Server, you will need to copy the DNS Manager, Dnsadmin.exe, to the %SystemRoot%\System32 folder of the target computer where you will do the administration. Dnsadmin.exe can be found in one of the following locations:

 In the %SystemRoot%\System32 folder of your current Windows NT DNS Server.

-or-  In the folder of your original Windows NT CD. To expand the DNS Manager from this CD, you will need to insert your Windows NT CD into your CD-ROM drive, type the following at a command prompt, and then press Enter:

     expand D:\ \Dnsadmin.ex_ C:\Winnt\System32\Dnsadmin.exe

where D: is the letter of your CD drive and C:\Winnt is the folder your target Windows NT installation is located. 

NOTE: The computer that you wish to run Dnsadmin.exe from must have the TCP/IP protocol installed and configured correctly and you must have local Administrative privileges at the DNS Server that you wish to administer.
