== Overview == The Domain Name System support in [[Windows NT|Microsoft Windows NT]], and thus its derivatives [[Windows 2000]], [[Windows XP]], and [[Windows Server 2003]], comprises two clients and a server. Every Microsoft Windows machine has a DNS lookup client, to perform ordinary DNS lookups. Some machines have a [[Dynamic DNS]] client, to perform Dynamic DNS Update transactions, registering the machines' names and [[IP address]]es. Some machines run a DNS server, to publish DNS data, to service DNS lookup requests from DNS lookup clients, and to service DNS update requests from DNS update clients. The server software is only supplied with the server versions of Windows.
