I have seen a number of posts on the forums about people who are having trouble with DNS Resolution on SBS 2011 Essentials.
Sean Daniel posted an excellent explanation of the how’s and whys of Essentials and DNS, and why the Server has a Dynamic IP… <shudder>
Anyway, knowing why something does something, and not being happy with it doing it, are two separate things.
So, if you want to force your DNS Forwarders to be something other than your Default Gateway, or, to use something else instead, you can build a simple scheduled task to do this.

I have a new client who migrated to SBS 2011. They run some shipping label software that FTP’s information down from a server online to a local database on the server.
It used to run on a Server 2003 member server, but part of the migration was to move this onto the SBS 2011 box.
The company who support the software did the transfer, but when the software stalled when trying to ftp in, they had exhausted their knowledge and were out of ideas.

For over a year i have been working with the idea of publishing a guide on Migrating to SBS 2011 Essentials.
It did start life as a blog series all that time ago but quickly became a huge project. I had shelved it for a while as I worked on a number of other posts, and projects, including a number of books, including the MS Press SBS Essentials title, and also a book on Windows Intune.
It has been nagging away at me that it wasn’t finished. I do hate leaving things half done.
Good news however, I finished it recently and decided rather than publish it as a blog post, to wrap it up as an eBook. One of the reasons is it is over 130 pages long.

Thanks.

Those of you following me on Twitter will no doubt have seen or ignored more than a few tweets from me recently about how much i like PowerShell.
Not least because it makes you look clever if you have a script open on one of your monitors.
I have said it before, Command line stuff just impresses people, its a scientific fact. Read more of this post
