command using nslookup server name

Using Command Prompt

ii) Verify configuration of Reverse Lookup Zones by showing the output command nslookup
- debug server address.
Part 6 : Analysis DNS problem
If your Windows DNS server is not responding, it may be necessary to dig more deeply to
understand errors or misconfigurations that could be causing the issues. To do so you may
need to utilize nslookup, a tool built into Windows. Nslookup is integral to various software
solutions, including SolarWinds Remote Monitoring and Management, and you can use
nslookup DNS troubleshooting commands to determine specific internal or external issues.
Discuss the most common and important kinds of DNS records that could cause DNS issues.
i) A record: A records are basic DNS data that matches a domain with an IP address.
To check an A record, use the nslookup command followed by the domain. Then, you
can confirm that the domain is going to the right IP address. An AAAA record is the
same as an A record
ii) CNAME: CNAME stands for Canonical Name. This record is used to point one
domain name at another domain name. For nslookup, the command is “set
type=cname” followed by your domain
iii) MX: The Mail Exchange (MX) Record directs email from your domain to a host
server. Make sure the MX to your domain is (A or AAAA record) and not a CNAME
record. The command is “set type=mx” followed by your domain

 Part 10: Analysis DHCP problem

i. If you use DHCP servers to configure TCP/IP settings automatically for

workstations in your organization, a DHCP failure can lead to a major disruption in
service. After all, if a workstation is not able to acquire an IP address, then it will have
no way of accessing any of the resources on your private network or on the Internet.
Kindly discuss some techniques that you can use for troubleshooting DHCP server
failures.

Troubleshooting Techniques
1. Verify that IP address leases are available in the DHCP server scope for the subnet the
DHCP client is on. To do this, see the statistics for the appropriate scope in the DHCP
server management console.
2. Verify that the DHCP server is bound to at least one IP address, and that this is within
the subnet of the scopes from which IP addresses must be leased out (unless using
DHCP relay). To do this, run the Get-DhcpServerv4Binding or Get-
DhcpServerv6Binding cmdlet. Server connection bindings are configured in the
DHCP server management console under IPv4 / IPv6 Advanced Properties
3. Users should make sure that the DHCP server is still authorized by the Active
Directory to lease IP addresses. Users should also check to verify that the scope is
active, and that the necessary services are running on the DHCP server.
Conclusion
To summarize this Problem-based task, we have learned about DNS and DHCP:
• DHCP server assigns the IP addresses to client computers, while DNS server
resolves them.
• Both DHCP and DNS are essential tools in the network administrator's toolkit
for managing all the IP devices on a corporate network.
• We also have learnt how to configure and function about forward lookup
zones and Reverse Lookup Zones. Forward lookup zones resolve names to IP
addresses and Reverse Lookup Zones resolve IP addresses to names
• We Learn to analysis problem about DNS. For Example, Troubleshooting
Techniques and Type of record in DNS records (CNAME, A RECORD, MX)
• Lastly, We Learn About Scope function and advantages to DHCP. By defining
one or more scopes on the DHCP server, the server can manage the
distribution and assignment of IP addresses to DHCP clients.
