WARNING: Windows 2000 DNS Servers require different files and a different procedure than Windows Server 2003 DNS Servers. The procedure for each is:
To install the DNS WMI Provider on Windows 2000 Server
- Obtain the DNS WMI Provider for Windows 2000 from the Windows 2000 Server Resource Kit, or download the file Dnsprov.zip, from: ftp://ftp.microsoft.com/reskit/win2000/
- Copy the DNS WMI Provider (Dnsprov.dll) and Dnsschema.mof files to the \system32\wbem directory.
- Compile the MOF file. Doing so customizes the schema to match the server. From the command prompt run: mofcomp dnsschema.mof
- Register the DLL on the DNS Server. From the command prompt run: regsvr32 dnsprov.dll
To install the DNS WMI Provider on Windows Server 2003
- For the Windows Server 2003 family, the DNS WMI Provider is automatically installed and registered, and its MOF file is compiled when the DNS Server service is installed.
