Windows Server 2008: global name zone (GNZ)

This howto video shows off Global Name Zones (GNZ), the replacement for WINS. It was possible for a Server 2003 to be a WINS server and resolve NetBIOS or NetBEUI requests over multiple network segments. (NetBIOS is not routable.) However, while Microsoft Windows Server 2008 can utilize NetBIOS, it can not be a WINS server. Instead, it utilizes Global Name Zones (GNZ). This is supposed to be the WINS killer, but only time will tell. This video uses the DNS (domain name service) console (GUI) and command line interface. I perform this on a Windows Server 2008 Domain Controller (Active Directory.) The commands I use are...

dnscmd /config /enableglobalnamessupport 1

dnscmd server1.first.domain /recordadd winz fileserver cname printserver.domain.two

dnscmd /config /globalqueryblocklist wpad isatap accounting

dnscmd /info /globalqueryblocklist

hi, i have an unrelated question, but could not find this online. i am studying to become a netwerk admin and don't have a lot of experience in the field, so sorry in advance if it is a really silly question!

how come you've got a copy and paste little window in the command prompt? i have found out how to enable this function, but nowhere it shows how to actually be able to right click and select the different options (copy, paste, etc) from a little menu?

thanks in advance!

great vid btw!!

@LalulaPsy Okay, you've enabled quick edit mode in the properties of the command prompt?

To copy, highlight the text and press enter

To paste, click where you want the text to be and right click.

This only works well on one line at a time. If you try to copy two lines at a time, the copy is a bit messy.

We have a NetBEUI server at work and all the computers that use it are either using Windows 2000 or XP. I have Windows 7 and can't figure out how to connect to the network. Do you know how to do this?

You should name the Global Name Zone "GlobalNames" (not case sensitive) and not "winz" or it won't function, this is because the reserved name distinguishes it. The name GlobalNames indicated to the DNS Server service running on Windows Server 2008 that the zone is to be used for single-name resolution.
