Domain Name System (DNS) is the primary method for name resolution in Windows Server® 2008 and for other versions of Microsoft® Windows® operating systems, such as Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, and Windows Vista. DNS is a requirement for deploying the Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) server role. Integrating DNS with AD DS makes it possible for DNS servers to take advantage of the security, performance, and fault-tolerance capabilities of AD DS.
Typically, you organize your DNS namespace (that is, the association of domains, subdomains, and hosts) in a way that supports your plan for using AD DS to organize the computers on your network.
