## Configure Windows DNS Server
## Windows DNS Server configuration

The Windows DNS Server to be managed by Ansible should meet below requirements:
- PowerShell 3.0 or newer
- .NET 4.0 to be installed
- A WinRM listener should be created and activated
- A WinRM listener should be created and activated.
- A Windows user with administrative privileges or member of the **Remote Management Users** security group (allows connection to remote Windows DNS server via WinRM)
- A Windows user with administrative privileges or member of the **DNSAdmins** security group (allows DNS records to be updated)

To configure WinRM, you can simply run [ConfigureRemotingForAnsible.ps1](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jullienl/HPE-Synergy-baremetal/master/files/ConfigureRemotingForAnsible.ps1) on the Windows Server to set up the basics.
> **Note**: Since Windows Server 2012, WinRM is enabled by default.
