Now, to further configure your server, let's create a forward lookup zone file. Inside the DNS snap-in, expand the server name in the lefthand pane. Then do the following:

1. Right-click Forward Lookup Zones and select New Zone. The New Zone Wizard appears.

2. Choose Primary Zone, and then click Next.

3. Enter the zone name. In this example, I'll use g-excess.com. Click Next to continue.

4. Enter a name for the new zone file, which is stored in ASCII format. The default name is your domain with .DNS appended to the end—hasselltech.net.dns, for example. The zone files are stored in %SystemRoot%\system32\dns. Click Next.

5. On the Dynamic Update screen, choose to allow both insecure and secure dynamic updates. I'll discuss dynamic DNS updating in a later section. Click Next.

6. Click Finish to complete the zone creation process.

The g-excess.com zone has now been created.
