Note: In Windows DNS Server, if forwarders are configured, the recursion setting must also be enabled because disabling recursion will disable forwarders. If forwarders are not used, recursion must be disabled. In both cases, the use of root hints must be disabled. The root hints configuration requirement is addressed in WDNS-22-000012. Log on to the DNS server using the Domain Admin or Enterprise Admin account or Local Administrator account. Press the Windows key + R and execute "dnsmgmt.msc". On the opened DNS Manager snap-in from the left pane, right-click on the server name for the DNS server and select "Properties". Click the "Forwarders" tab. If forwarders are enabled and configured, this check is not applicable. If forwarders are not enabled, click the "Advanced" tab and verify the "Disable recursion (also disables forwarders)" check box is selected. If forwarders are not enabled and configured, and the "Disable recursion (also disables forwarders)" check box in the "Advanced" tab is not selected, this is a finding. This is not applicable for classified networks.
