Question : nslookup ***cannot find server name for address 192.168.1.10

getting this message when running nslookup.  Appears to be something wrong with  my reverse lookup zones.  I have 3 listed (see attachment).  should i just create a new zone with the correct ip address?

 DNS was configured prior to me addressing this issue by someone else.  Not sure what the other 3 reverse zones are for, but would it work to just add another to it?

Hey :)

You have the three default zones. You need to add a specific one for your IP address range. Right click on Reverse Lookup Zones and create a new Primary (AD Integrated if applicable) zone. Name it "192.168.1.x" or 1.168.192.in-addr.arpa (the two being equivalent and dependant on the box you use).

Enable Dynamic Updates for the zone, then on your server run "ipconfig /registerdns" you should find a PTR record appears for your server.

Running NsLookup after this should be error free.
