DNS Wildcard with Microsoft DNS Server

Published 15 January 06 03:59 PM | Frederick.Chapleau

Even if the wildcard are not handled directly in Microsoft DNS server, they can be handled easly.

From the newsgroups:

1. Standard primary zone ( used to avoid going thru ldp or adsiedit to
modify AD zone info )

2. Create a temp host record.

3. right click server name and update data files.

4. stop DNS

5. Open the zonename.dns file in %systemroot%\system32\dns using notepad.

6. Modify the host name and change it to "*" without the quotes.  ( MUST BE THE LAST RECORD TO PREVENT MISDIRECTION TO VALID HOSTS )

7 save file - restart DNS

Alternate solution use DNSCMD to create the record  Syntax would be
"dnscmd /recordadd zonename * A IPADDRESS "  ZoneName needs to be
replaced by the actual DNS zone name i.e. microsoft.com - IPADDRESS
would be replaced by the actual IP you want it to point to.   This
should be the last record added to the zone - if it isn't remove it and
add any additional records then re-add when done.
