Understanding DNS is an essential skill that all IT Techs and Professionals need to have.

Without DNS computers on a network will have difficulty communicating with other computers on the network.

DNS is one of the core technologies aiding in the translation of a computer name (MyComputer022) to a relevant IP address (192.168.2.33), across a computer network.

The DNS manager, residing on a Windows Server, is a common tool used by administrators in thousands of businesses around the world.
