Manage DNS from IIS 7 Manager

Hi I'm using IIS 7 Manager to work on my remote web server. I don't have a hosting control panel (Plesk,...), it is better to manage the server with native tools. However IIS 7 manager is o开发者_如何学编程nly for IIS, obviously. I want to manage DNS from IIS 7 Manager too, is it posibble, is there an add-on kind of thing?

Thanks.

The answer entirely depends on what DNS server you are using.

You can write your own IIS 7 UI extensions very easily with .NET. You would access Microsoft.Web.Management and Microsoft.Web.Administration assemblies found in *%windows%\system32\inetsvr*. You can find articles about how to do this on IIS.NET. Create your interface and add it to IIS. All of the icons that you see in the IIS manager are the same kind of .NET UI modules that you would write.

That said, you simply need to find a way to modify your DNS settings programmatically to plug into your IIS 7 UI. There is a nice sample for accessing Microsoft DNS in the ASP.NET forums here.

It shouldn't be hard to code up a quick solution.

Just use the windows 2k8 DNS manager (it can be used remotely as well... (via MMC or administrative tools)
