13.4 An Installation and Configuration Batch Script

Now that we've covered the
DNS installation and configuration
commands, we'll show you a short
batch script that automates the
initial setup of a secondary name server. This script performs the
following tasks:

Installs the DNS Server service using
sysocmgr

Adds a zone called fx.movie.edu
using dnscmd

Configures the server to use a forwarder using
dnscmd

Adds an A record for the name of the new server in the
fx.movie.edu zone on the primary master
server using dnscmd

Performs a zone transfer from the primary master server to receive
the latest updates using dnscmd

The only other utility used in the script is the
sleep command, which is available in the
Resource Kit. The sleep command is used to allow time for the changes
initiated by each command to be committed.

Here is the script:

@echo off
:: IP address of primary master server
set PRIMARY_MASTER_IP=64.10.57.21
:: Forward-mapping zone to add to this server
set FWD_ZONE=fx.movie.edu
:: IP address of this server
set SERVER_IP=10.50.23.7
echo Installing the DNS Server service . . . 
sysocmgr /i:%windir%\inf\sysoc.inf /u:c:\dns_install.txt
:: The sleep command is part of the Resource Kit
sleep 5
echo Adding a zone . . . 
dnscmd /zoneadd %FWD_ZONE% /Secondary %PRIMARY_MASTER_IP%
sleep 5
echo Configuring this server to use a forwarder . . . 
dnscmd /resetforwarders %PRIMARY_MASTER_IP%
sleep 5
echo Adding an A record for this server in %FWD_ZONE%
dnscmd %PRIMARY_IP% /recordadd %FWD_ZONE% %COMPUTERNAME% A %SERVER_IP%
sleep 5
echo Performing a zone transfer
dnscmd /zonerefresh %FWD_ZONE%
echo Done

As you can see, the script isn't terribly complex.
The @echo off line turns off printing of each
command as it is run. You may want to comment this out if you need to
debug the script. Commented lines in batch scripts are designated by
:: at the beginning of the line.

The rest of the code runs the commands to perform the steps we
outlined earlier. We used the set command to
initialize some variables that we use throughout the script. The
echo command was used to print some status
messages. The output from each command is also displayed.

This example script may not be applicable in your environment, but it
should give you an idea of how easy it is to create simple batch
scripts to automate the installation and configuration of your name
servers. If you're interested in learning more about
