A Microsoft DNS zone whose data is stored in Active Directory and replicated through AD replication rather than only through DNS zone transfers. It can support secure dynamic updates and multi-writer operation on eligible domain controllers.
A Microsoft DNS mechanism that timestamps eligible dynamically registered records so old data can later be removed by scavenging. Static records normally do not age unless explicitly converted or timestamped.
Automatic Private IP Addressing, the Microsoft term for self-assignment from 169.254.0.0/16 when a host cannot obtain normal IPv4 configuration. These link-local addresses are not routed.
A Microsoft Active Directory control that allows approved DHCP servers to provide service in an AD domain environment. An unauthorized Windows DHCP server may stop serving clients.
A defined IPv4 subnet and its allocatable address range, exclusions, reservations, lease duration, and options. Some products instead use terms such as network, range, pool, or subnet.
A method that uses Generic Security Service mechanisms, commonly Kerberos, to authenticate DNS dynamic updates with TSIG-style transaction protection. It underpins secure dynamic update in many Active Directory environments.
A ticket-based authentication protocol widely used by Active Directory. DNS secure dynamic updates can use Kerberos through GSS-TSIG.
Link-Local Multicast Name Resolution, a multicast protocol for resolving names on a local link when DNS is unavailable. It is not DNS, can create security exposure, and is often disabled in managed environments.
The Windows Server DHCP role for IPv4 and IPv6 configuration, scopes, reservations, policies, authorization, DNS updates, and DHCPv4 failover. Management is available through GUI, PowerShell, and APIs.
The DNS Server role and related client components in Windows Server and Active Directory environments. It supports AD-integrated zones, secure dynamic update, conditional forwarding, policies, DNSSEC, and standard DNS protocols.
The first phase of Microsoft DNS aging during which repeated refreshes do not update a record's timestamp. It reduces replication traffic while still allowing actual record changes.
In an SOA, the interval after which a secondary checks the primary source for a new serial. In Microsoft DNS aging, the refresh interval is the period during which eligible refreshes update a record timestamp.
Automatic removal of DNS records considered stale according to timestamp and aging settings. In Microsoft DNS, both zone aging and server scavenging schedules must be configured correctly.
A Microsoft DHCP grouping of multiple IPv4 scopes on the same physical network. It supports multinets where several logical subnets share one broadcast domain, but routing and client behavior must be designed carefully.
