Today a conversation
at my job came up about setting the preferred DNS server on the NIC of a DC
with DNS installed.
For as far as I know
it's best to point the DC (with DNS installed) to itself for DNS by
specifying the internal IP address of the DC as the preferred
DNS
server on the
NIC.
You don't work at the post office do you? ;)
There are many many many ways to properly configure DNS. One thing that helps is to think of the terms client and server vs. preferred and alternate only. You are configuring a preferred server and an alternate server that you want this DC to be a c

In that case, then you won't want to make the host a client of itself. Then you would/could run into the island effect.
When you get to R2, you'll want to weigh Neil's comments and see how that plays in your environment.

Guido, have you checked this lately? I know there were several changes to that behavior in several revs IIRC. The problems you describe were better than a challenge, as I recall. they had a tenedancy to wreak havoc with integrated dns zones when a dc would come up and create a new zone and then
int.
Would be happy to be corrected.

Not unless you make Netlogon
dependent on DNS in the startup order. That should be a standard
practice.
