Wildcard DNS in Win2K
Can someone tell me if it's possible in Win2K to setup wildcard DNS. I know you can on other DNS servers, but have yet to find out how in Win2K.
Thanks.

You cannot use * as a host name in Microsft DNS, I have also added a record programatically using * as the host allthough the record was added it does not function as a wild card. I will do a bit of research. It could be possible but appears to not be supported.

Lightbulb There is a way for W2K
They work in W2K. Here is the way:

1. Search the registry key:
HKLM\SYSTEM\CURRENTCONTROLSET\SERVICES\DNS\PARAMETERS
add the dword value: LooseWildcarding
Set it to 1

2. Restart DNS-Service

3. If you want *.yourdomain.com open the zone yourdomain.com and add a subzone with the name *

4. In this subzone add a host entry with no name, confirm the warnig.

5. Thatīs it
