How do you manually create SRV records in DNS
To create a DNS SRV record, do the following:
- Open the Server Manager.
- Go to Tools and click DNS option.
- Go to DNS > DNS Server Host Name > Forward Lookup Zones > Domain > _tcp and right-click the _tcp option.
- Click Other New Records. The Resource Record Type window is displayed.
- Select the Service Location (SRV), click Create Record, and do the following:
We need to understand below things before creating any SRV record for any service or application, Like Exchange or KMS services.
Service: This is a symbolic name for the service, such as _sip, and must begin with an underscore (_).
Protocol: The transport protocol of the service that must begin with an underscore (_). This is most commonly entered as _tcp or _udp.
Name: The hostname or prefix of the record, without the domain name. Enter @ to put the record on your root domain, or enter a prefix, such as mail or phone.
Value: The hostname of the machine providing the service, such as mail.coolexample.com.
Priority: The priority determines which record to contact first when multiple SRV records with the same Name exist on the domain. A lower number means more preferred, and the record with the lowest priority will be used first.
Weight: The relative weight for SRV records with the same priority. A higher value means a higher chance of getting picked.
Port: The port where the service can be found, such as 80 or 21.
TTL (Time to Live): The amount of time the server should cache information before refreshing. The default setting is 1 hour.
To create SRV record for exchange autodiscover, enter the following details and click OK.
- Service—_autodiscover
- Protocol—_tcp
- Port number—443
- Host offering this service—mai.windowstechno.local
