Hello, As far as I know you can have DNS integrated in active directory OR a simple DNS server wich w2000 can do dns queries. DNS Integrated to AD is only a way of turn things more easy for DNS + W2000 + AD management. I am entusiastic of both DNS, in linux and DNS + AD. []´s Borda. -----Mensagem original----- De: redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx]Em nome de Edward Croft Enviada em: quinta-feira, 18 de março de 2004 12:33 Para: Red Hat List Assunto: Integrating Active Directory and Linux DNS servers Okay, please don't rip my head off here for asking a MS question, but I figured I would get a slightly less biased answer here. That being said.... We are upgrading our Exchange 5.5 server to Exchange 2003. We are a mixed shop with Linux and Windows. (There are numerous other systems, mostly of the *nix variety) While I tried to edge them to use Communitgate Pro, Contact, or OpenExchange, they decided there would be less impact on users if we stayed with Exchange. Now comes my issues, I feel like Alice falling down the rabbit hole here. In reading the docs for Exchange 2003, it says it needs Active Directory. Great, so now I have to learn Active Directory and futz with that. Now I am setting up Active Directory, flying by the seat of my pants, and it says that it wants its own DNS server in order to work properly. All my DNS servers are Linux based. Can Active Directory work with Linux based DNS? I thought I recalled a few of you saying you had Exchange 2000/2003 running, just wanted to know how you did it. Any help would be appreciated. -- Edward M.
