Active Directory Service (ADS)

System Guide

Domain Name Service (DNS)

The DNS service maintains host names to IP Address mappings.
DNS is also a Directory Service that stores arbitrary objects not
necessarily related to name-to-IP information.
In Network Configuration, using the DNS tab, the administrator
can enable/disable DNS. If DNS is enabled, the user must provide
the "Domain Name" and "DNS Server List" information in the text
entry windows; the "Domain Search List" is optional.

Dynamic Domain Name Service (DDNS)

The DNS protocol has also been enhanced to allow for dynamic
updating of DNS. The enhancement is referred to as Dynamic
Domain Name Service (DDNS). To invoke this service the
administrator enables it on the DNS tab.
NOTE: For specific procedures see the Online Help.

Network Information Services (NIS/NIS+)

NIS and NIS+ are network lookup services that provide
information that must be known throughout the network as well as
all machines on the network.
The administrator can enable or disable either the NIS or NIS+
service. If either of these is enabled, the administrator must supply
the information requested by the text fields or choose "Find NIS+
server" which will provide this same information.
NOTE: The server must be configured to accept broadcast
requests.
The Xerox FreeFlow Print Server interface provides a "wizard" that
enables the administrator to add ADS domains and permits Print
Server integration into Windows NT ADS networks.
