Perhaps they see themselves as a strange mixture of brain and brawn, along the same lines as the Steinbeck book :) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Of_Mice_and_Men neil

Are there any commercial tools you'd recommend I look at as far as management goes? Thanks, Brian Desmond [EMAIL PROTECTED] c - 312.731.3132 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Al Mulnick Sent: Sunday, January 07, 2007 1:35 PM To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: Re: [ActiveDir] DNS Comments Backup a second - how do you plan to manage the zones? I ask because this might be a good time to re-evaluate the metadata concept of the zones. In BIND you see that information because of the way you manage the zone. In AD there is a different way to manage the zone information that doesn't include that information. If you decide to manage the zones the same way, then handle the comments the same way. If you decide to go GUI (often a shock for a real BIND techie and often doesn't last long) then consider using a CMDB-type of mechanism to record the metadata. You may also consider some alternate tools to manage the DNS systems instead of the built in tools. Performance is pretty rough with the included anyway so it's not like you won't consider it later :) This is a change in the way they do things. It deserves a change in the way they are used to doing things. Al On 1/5/07, Brian Desmond <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Has anyone on this DL have experience with this problem? I am working on potentially migrating numerous UNIX BIND zones to AD Integrated DNS. The BIND zones have various comments in them which go with the record. I believe the dnsNode class in AD supports a notes field or similar but the GUI doesn't. How do people manage metadata about their DNS zones?
