  • Support for BIND DNS has been removed from Plesk for Windows due to security and maintenance risks.
    If a Plesk for Windows server is still using BIND, the upgrade to Plesk Obsidian 18.0.70 will be unavailable until the administrator switches the DNS server to Microsoft DNS.

swicthing from BIND to MS DNS

I have a server from 1and1 which came with plesk pre-installed. It appears plesk is using BIND as the name server. I'd like to use the MS name server (windows 2008 server). However, i dont seem to have the option to install the microsoft dns service. Going the normal route through windows i dont have the option to install the dns service.

how would i go about adding the windows DNS? I'm just guessing i dont have the option to add it because of plesk.

thanks
 
it would appear this has nothing to do with plesk - turns out the server is running windows 2008 web edition which apparently does not allow the MS dns service to be installed. The R2 version does.

So on a somewhat related tangent - anyone know of a quick and easy way to import a bunch of DNS records from an MS DNS server to BIND dns server?
