1. From the Data Management tab, select the DNS tab -> Zones tab -> DNS_view -> zone check box and click the Edit icon.
2. In the Authoritative Zone editor, you can do the following in each tab:
   • General: You can add or edit comments, and set the Disable and Lock options. Setting the Disable option sets the status of the zone to "Paused" on the Microsoft server. Grid members synchronize disabled zones to Microsoft servers.
   • Name Servers: You can modify the name servers assigned to the zone. For information, see Assigning Zone Authority to Name Servers.
   • Settings: If the zone was synchronized from a Microsoft server, this tab displays the original settings from the Microsoft server. If the zone was created using Grid Manager, then it inherits the TTL values from the Grid. Note that these values might be different from those on the Microsoft server. To change any of these values, see Configuring DNS Service Properties.
   • Zone Transfers: In this tab, you specify the servers to which zone transfers are allowed. For information about zone transfers, see Enabling Zone Transfers. Set the following parameters, depending on whether the primary or secondary servers of the zone are Infoblox or Microsoft DNS servers:
     • If the primary server is an Infoblox, Microsoft or external primary and the secondary servers are both Infoblox and Microsoft DNS servers, this tab displays two separate tables where you can specify zone transfer settings for the Infoblox DNS servers and the Microsoft DNS servers.
       Zone Transfer Settings for Infoblox Members: Specify the settings as described in Configuring Zone Transfers.
       Zone Transfer Settings for Microsoft Servers: Note that you cannot use a named ACL for access control though you can use individual ACEs. For information about named ACLs and access control, see Configuring Access Control. You can set access control for zone transfers for Microsoft servers to one of the following:

From Grid Manager, you can add and edit resource records in zones served by Microsoft servers. For information about adding and managing resource records, see Managing Resource Records. You can also use IP Map and the IP List to track A, AAAA and PTR records that are synchronized from Microsoft servers. For information, see Chapter 13, IP Address Management.
Microsoft DNS servers support all the resource records supported by Infoblox DNS servers, except for hosts, bulk hosts and shared record groups. You cannot add these records to zones served by Microsoft servers or assign zones with these records to Microsoft servers.
Following are guidelines for adding and managing resource records in synchronized zones:

...

• You can add and edit DNAME records in a DNS zone assigned to a Microsoft server running Windows 2008 or Windows Server 2012. You cannot add or edit DNAME records in zones assigned to Microsoft servers running earlier Windows versions.
• You can disable synchronized resource records from Grid Manager. When you disable a resource record, it is removed from the Microsoft server at the next synchronization.
• If you add a resource record with invalid data from Grid Manager, such as a DNAME record with an alias name that has special characters, the invalid resource record is not synchronized to the Microsoft server and is eventually deleted from the Grid. The error is logged in the Microsoft log.
• If the zone of the resource record was created using Grid Manager, then it and all its resource records inherit their TTL values from the Grid. Note that these values might be different from those on the Microsoft server. You can change these values to match those on the Microsoft server. For information on changing these values, see Configuring DNS Service Properties.
• Grid Manager and Microsoft DNS servers display TXT records differently.
  On Grid Manager, you enter the text string of TXT records as defined in RFC 1035. You can enter the following:
  • A contiguous set of characters without spaces. If you enclose the characters in double quotes, Grid Manager displays the character string without the double quotes. For example, if you enter "abcdef", Grid Manager displays abcdef.
  • A string that contains any character, including spaces, enclosed in quotes.
    • If the string contains a quote ("), you must precede it with a backslash.
    • If you enter a text string with multiple spaces between each word and the string is not enclosed in double quotes, Grid Manager displays the text string with a single space between each word. For example, if you enter text string, the GUI displays text string. To preserve multiple spaces, enclose the string in double quotes.
