Windows DNS Server 2008: Setup External Internet DNS Server

Dave LawlorHopefully if you're in the tech field you know that DNS is one of the main pillars of the Internet and what makes having those delightful friendly domain names (www.TrainSignalTraining.com) possible instead of having to memorize a long list of boring IPs (69.16.232.158).

For those of you that might need a refresher, the DNS service is the addressing book of the networking world, allowing the translation of human friendly names to IP addresses at its base level.

It also stores other types of records that help in delivery of different types of information from one end of the Internet to the other.

Why Have An External DNS Server?

This is especially useful if you are running IIS and have a lot of sites and don't want to use a 3rd party option for DNS. For example, at a client I worked with, they owned over 250 domain names and wanted to keep tight control over their DNS in case of server moves and other email considerations. An external DNS server will also help limit the exposure of your network to security leaks in case the server is compromised. 

Learn how to install and configure the DNS Role on a Windows Server 2008, how to create a Forward Lookup Zone and a Host (A) Resource Record.

Tips to Get an A+ on Your CompTIA A+ Exam

Zach MonroeFor those of you that have been in the IT field for awhile, your CompTIA A+ exam probably doesn't stick out too much in your mind because of all of the certifications that followed it.

However, for those of you that have just worked your way into the IT field or are considering entering the IT field, you know that the A+ certification is the stepping stone to further success with certifications and success in the field.

For most of you this will be the first certification exam you will have to take and you're probably unsure about how to study for it and what you'll need to know.

I was lucky enough to be working at a company that specializes in IT training so I was able to use our training materials and draw on the knowledge of the incredible staff at Train Signal to help me succeed when it came to obtaining my A+ IT Technician certification.

What I want to do today is detail my experience for you and provide you with techniques that helped me obtain my CompTIA A+ certification in hopes that you will be able to do the same.
