DnsBrowse/dnsEdit.

• ToolButtons

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!
