Adding and removing servers to manage

Adding and removing servers to manage

You can use the DNS Manager console to manage servers running DNS by following these steps:

1. Press and hold or right-click DNS in the console tree, and then tap or click Connect To DNS Server.

2. If you’re trying to connect to the local computer, select This Computer. Otherwise, select The Following Computer, and then enter the IP address or fully qualified host name of the remote computer with which you want to connect.

3. Tap or click OK. Windows Server 2012 R2 attempts to contact the server. If it makes contact, it adds the server to the console.

NOTE If a server is offline or otherwise inaccessible because of security restrictions or problems with the Remote Procedure Call (RPC) service, the connection fails. You can still add the server to the console by tapping or clicking Yes when prompted.

In the DNS Manager console, you can delete a server by selecting its entry and then pressing Delete. When prompted, tap or click Yes to confirm the deletion. Deleting a server only removes it from the server list in the console tree. It doesn’t actually delete the server.
