After creating any DNS records, you need to verify whether the dns has been added and updated.
To do this follow the following steps.
- Login to your server as the administrator.
- Click Start, and then click Run.
- In the Openbox, type cmd, and then click OK.
- At the command prompt, type nslookup, and then press ENTER.
- Type set type=srv, and then press ENTER.
- Type _tcp.domainnaname, and then press ENTER.Nn domainname is your exact domain eg truehost.co.ke and and service type example is _autodiscover
- The output displayed look like this
Server: <dns server>.domainname
Address: <IP address of DNS server>
Non-authoritative answer:
_servicetype._tcp.domainname SRV service location:
priority = 0
weight = 0
port = exact port specified
svr hostname = domainname (or Standard Edition server A record)
- After you’re done, type exit
