So you read my earlier blog entry about creating reverse zones, and tried to create a the 0, 127 or 255 zone. If you tired to create one of those zones on a Windows DNS server you should get the following error message “The zone cannot be created. The zone already exists.”

Error message stating taht the zone exists

So what’s up I don’t the see the zone but its there? Microsoft has made sure that all DNS servers will create those zones in the background unless a registry change is made. To be able to see these zones you need to enable their display.

Showing built in zones in Windows DNS Management.

Or you could list the zones using commandline:

dnscmd /enumzones /auto-created

So you dont really need to create just those.
