Dynamic Update Is Set to "None" for a DNS Root Zone

ID: Q232187

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Windows 2000 Server
Microsoft Windows 2000 Advanced Server
Microsoft Windows 2000 Datacenter Server

SYMPTOMS

For Active Directory-integrated zones, the default value for the "Dynamic update" setting is "Allow Only Secure Updates."

The exception to this is the default value for Active Directory-integrated root (or ".") zones. For these zones, the default value is "None."

STATUS

This behavior is by design because the root zone should not undergo dynamic changes.
