A. Non-Active Directory (AD)-integrated zones (i.e., zones that don't store content in AD) use a file to store zone content. Zone names that contain reserved words will violate certain OS rules and result in an error.
Reserved words that you can't use as part of a DNS zone name are
- AUX
- COM1
- COM2
- COM3
- COM4
- CON
- LPT1
- LPT2
- LPT3
- NUL
- PRN
Example invalid zone names include nul.savilltech.com and con.windows2000faq.com. To create a valid DNS zone name, you must either select other words or use the Dnscmd utility to create the zone. Dnscmd lets you use a /file switch to specify the physical filename you want to use. For example,
DNSCMD /zoneadd con.windows2000faq.com /primary /file conzone.com.dns
