DnsBrowse/dnsEdit.
This programs show the DNS and DHCP records in the NDS in a "flat" list, and
gives you the option to export or print the data. There are two programs
available, DNSBrowse is the free version with all basic viewing options and
only one tree at the time, and the program DNSEdit.exe (licensed) that has all
the functions of DNSBrowse, has some edit-functionality and can show multiple
trees at the time.
At startup of the program, the program scans your dnsBrowsetions for the
dnsBrowseted trees. If there are multiple tree dnsBrowsetions, the program
shows the following window:
You can select the tree(s) you want the monitor. If there are trees you never
want to monitor (because there are no DNS-DHCP record in it) you can exclude
these trees in the ini-file in the section [EXCLUDE], All treesname in this
section with value 1 will excude at startup. Later you can include the excluded
trees again.
If you are not logged in, the program shows:
You can continue and select the trees-button on the toolbar. The program shows
the most left (empty) window. Select the more button, the program scans the
network for all trees, and let you login into the selected tree.
For every selected tree the program "needs" to know from which level it
should search for the DNS-DHCP locator objects. If there is no entry for a tree
in the section [TREES], the program will show the following warning. (normally
only the first time you "select" a tree). The program puts two new lines in
the DNSBrowse.ini file [TREES] and {MASTER]. You can change the information
with the settings option or edit the ini-file. See settings and configuration
paragraph.
Then the program will look into the ini-file for the treename in het section
[LOCATOR]. If there is no entry there or it is empty, the program will use the
context-value of the treename in the section [TREES] and will do a NDS-search
for the DNS-DHCP locator object in the given context. If the program cann't
find the DNS-DHCP locator object, it will show the option:
If you select no, the program will skip the tree, otherwise it will show a
NDS-browse box, where you can select the DNS-DHCP object. The program will save
the locator-object fullname in the ini-file. The next time the program starts,
it will use that value. If the program finds more that one locator object in a
tree, (e.g. after a tree merge) it will show:
This is not a problem for the program, it can handle this situation. If you
donen't want this message anymore, check "do not show this warning again".
There is an option in the DNSedit program of merging the locator-objects. 
Normally the program will only show the tree-selection page if you are
dnsBrowseted to more than one tree.
The DNSBrowse.exe doesn't have the tab's Check and DNS-Lookup!
