You can enable synchronization of DNS reporting data from the Microsoft server and view both NIOS and Microsoft services data in a single view in the supported DNS reports. This feature is enabled by default when you add a Microsoft server to the Grid. This feature is supported for Microsoft Windows 2012 R2 and Microsoft Windows 2016 versions, and you must disable this feature for all previous versions of Microsoft Windows servers. When you upgrade the Grid to NIOS 8.2 or later, this feature is disabled. For information about how to enable synchronization of DNS reporting data, see Setting Grid Properties for Managing Microsoft Servers on page 1322.
You can enable the synchronization of DNS reporting data at the Grid level. The Microsoft servers inherit these settings by default, and you can override these settings at the Microsoft server level. The synchronization of DNS reporting data is effective only if a valid Reporting license is installed on the Grid and when DNS Sync is enabled for the Microsoft server to synchronize the DNS data. For information about how to enable DNS Sync, see Assigning Grid Members to Microsoft Servers.

Note: You must enable DNS logging feature on the Microsoft server for this feature to function properly. To enable DNS logging feature on Microsoft servers, refer to https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn800669#some.

When you enable the synchronization of DNS reporting data, the appliance performs the reporting data synchronization from the Microsoft server based on the specified time interval. The default synchronization interval is 15 seconds. You can change the synchronization interval using the CLI command set ms_dns_reports_sync_interval. For information, refer to the Infoblox CLI Guide. Note that the collection of reporting data is dependent on the synchronization intervals set for the Microsoft server. Hence, there would be differences in the Microsoft services data updated in the reports as compared to the NIOS reporting data. For a list of DNS reports that display data from both NIOS and the Microsoft server when this feature is enabled, see Reports with Data Synchronized from Microsoft Servers.
Microsoft provides enhanced DNS logging and diagnostics for Microsoft Windows server 2012 R2 and later versions. This includes DNS analytic events logging which enables activity tracking on the DNS server. An analytic event is logged each time the server sends or receives DNS information. In order to install enhanced DNS logging and diagnostics feature in Microsoft Windows server 2012 R2 and later versions, you must apply the query logging and change auditing hotfix. Click the following link to apply the query logging and change auditing hotfix: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/2956577/update-adds-query-logging-and-change-auditing-to-windows-dns-servers.
Note that DNS analytic events logging is not enabled by default on Microsoft servers. To install and enable DNS analytic events logging feature on Microsoft servers, refer to https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn800669#some.
