Explanation (?): |
The DNS server service provides the domain name system functionality to your server. This is used primarily in two ways. The first is the standard cascading of Internet naming servers. The second is through the use of active directory. The purpose of using active directory through DNS lookups is that NETBIOS is inferior compartively. Chances are that if you are running a server that you will definitely want the DNS server service unless running, but if not you should uninstall it from the add/remove components dialog rather then just disabling the service. |

"Every nation has a right to govern itself internally under what forms it pleases, and to change these forms at its own will; and externally to transact business with other nations through whatever organ it chooses, whether that be a King, Convention, Assembly, Committee, President, or whatever it be. The only thing essential is, the will of the nation." --Thomas Jefferson to Thomas Pinckney, 1792. ME 9:7
