This article will teach you how to create a reverse lookup zone in Windows Server 2022. The reverse lookup zone is used to convert names to IP addresses; it is one of the main parts of the DNS Server. To complete this tutorial, Windows Server 2022 and Active Directory must be installed and configured. In this training, for example, we have the network 192.168.241.0/24, and we intend to create a reverse lookup zone for this network.
First, enter Server Manager and click on DNS from the Tools section.
After entering the DNS management window in Windows Server 2022, right-click on Reverse lookup zone from the left side and select New Zone…
The Wizard window will open for you, click Next.
In the Zone Type field, select Primary Zone and click Next.
In this section, select the second option: To all DNS servers running on domain controllers in this domain.
Considering that we are using the IPv4 address range, select the IPv4 Reverse Lookup Zone option.
Enter the network address of your range in the Network ID field.
In the Dynamic Update section, select the first option and click Next.
Finally, click on Finish.
If you enter the DNS Manager window, you will notice that a Zone has been created for your IP address range in the Reverse lookup zone section.
What Does Window Manager Mean?
A window manager is a software utility found in most GUI-based software and applications that manage graphical windows’ overall alignment and layout. The window manager defines and controls the appearance and positioning of application interface windows.
Techopedia explains Window Manager
Generally, window managers collaborate with the desktop environment, logical graphical system, and the underlying hardware to operate and manipulate graphical windows. These windows can be for the operating system or a software program/application. Some of the features window managers provide are the ability to minimize, maximize and close opened windows. The placement, effects, colors, and transitioning may also be part of window managers, although this will depend on the underlying operating system, graphical libraries, and system in use. Windows Explorer is a component in the Windows OS that incorporates and manages the window manager’s tasks and features.
