Performing DNS Registration

Note: Skip this step if you registering a node without joining it to a domain.

When a Windows node is joined to an Active Directory Domain, the A DNS record is automatically created in the AD DNS for the Windows node.

If the DNS record was not created, perform the DNS registration following these steps:

1. For Windows Server 2012: run Windows PowerShell.

   Then, execute the following command:

    ipconfig.exe /registerdns

2. Wait some time for DNS registration to be performed. Make sure that DNS record for the host is created in your domain:
   1. Log in to the First Domain Controller as Domain Administrator.
   2. Run dnsmgmt.msc.
   3. In the left pane of the dnsmgmt management console, open the First Domain Controller folder, open the Forward Lookup Zones item, click the domain zone node.
   4. In the right pane of the dnsmgmt management console, check that the A record for the required server exists and points to its BackNet IP address.
3. If the A record does not exist, create it manually:
   1. Right-click the domain zone node.
   2. Click New Host (A).
   3. In the New Host dialog, enter the name of the computer and its BackNet IP address, click Add Host, and then click Done to cancel creation of next host records.
