one quick Win2000 Server Question

[thereaderrabbit]

Hello,

I'm in the very early stages of setting up a windows2000 server for my lab group. I need to get this server off the ground, but have been told to not put the machine on the network until the DNS server has been deactivated. How do I do this? I was told that the default installation would harass the departments DNS servers. Thanks in advance

PS. I'm have a book on Win2000 server on order, but need basic file sharing ASAP.

you can uninstall the DNS server by going to control panels -> add/remove programs. then click on the add/remove windows components button. de-select the dns server, and you're done.

or go into the services (under computer management, or the services snap-in in the administrative tools) and stop the DNS server service, and set it's startup to manual or disabled.
