Hi All,

Do I need a DNS server in order to be able to use IPSEC between DC server
and clients?

I have win 2000 server with AD and about 10 win2000 pro clients.

I know I have to have a dns for AD but u can also use someone elses DNS as
long as it is configured to serve AD.

Regards,

Admir

No, DNS isn't going to be used by IPSec.
I'd advise taking care in designing your ipsec policy. Quite a number of
different client services require accessing your DC and it's easy to create
a policy which accidently blocks them.

Hi Admir,

We (Microsoft) do not support negotiating security with IPsec from client
to DC. We do support it from client-client and client-server however.
(IPsec can be used to Block, Permit, or Negotiate Security.)

Read more about what scenarios we support in this KB:
254949 Client-to-Domain Controller and Domain Controller-to-Domain
Controller
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=254949

IPsec does not need DNS since policies can be configured with IPs and not
names. However, clients on a Windows2000 Domain do need DNS.
