Securing DNS resource records

The following DNS resource record configuration options have security implications for resource records stored in both standard and Active Directory-integrated DNS zones:

  • Manage the discretionary access control list (DACL) on DNS resource records stored in Active Directory. The DACL allows you to control the permissions for the Active Directory users and groups that may control the DNS resource records. For more information, see Modify security for a resource record.
