Check Text

Active Directory (AD)-integrated DNS servers will handle the promotion of a secondary DNS server when a primary DNS server loses functionality. If all of the DNS servers are AD integrated, this is not a finding. Consult with the system administrator to determine if there are documented procedures to re-role a non-AD-integrated secondary name server to a master name server role if a master name server loses functionality. If there are no documented procedures to re-role a non-AD-integrated secondary name server to primary if a master name server loses functionality, this is a finding.

Fix Text

AD-integrated DNS servers will handle the promotion of a secondary DNS server when a primary DNS server loses functionality. Develop, test, and implement documented procedures to re-role a non-AD-integrated secondary name server to a master name server role if a master name server loses functionality.
