Release of BIND 9.7 for Windows XP/2003/2008
Release of BIND 9.7 for Windows and later.
This is a release of BIND 9.7 for Windows XP/2003/2008.
Only IPv4 stacks are supported on the box running this version of BIND.
IPv6 stacks will be supported in a future release.
This is a release of BIND 9.7 for Windows XP and later.
Important Kit Installation Information
As of release 9.3.0, BINDInstall requires that you install
it under an account with restricted privileges. The installer
will prompt you for an account name, the default is "named", and
a password for that account. It will also check for the existence
of that account. If it does not exist is will create it with only
the privileges required to run BIND. If the account does exist it
will check that it has only the one privilege required:
"Log on as a service". If it has too many privileges it will prompt
you if you want to continue.

With BIND running under an account name it is necessary for all
files and directories that BIND uses to have permissions set up
for the named account if the files are on an NTFS disk. BIND requires
files and directories that BIND uses to have permissions set up for
the named account if the files are on an NTFS disk. BIND requires
that the account have read and write access to the directory for

or for master zones supporting dynamic updates. The account will

Documentation
This kit includes Documentation in HTML format. The documentation is not
copied during the installation process so you should move it to any convenient
location for later reference. Of particular importance is the BIND 9
Administrator's Reference Manual (Bv9ARM*.html) which provides detailed
information on BIND 9. In addition, there are HTML pages for each of the
BIND 9 applications.

It is no longer necessary to create a resolv.conf file on Windows
as the tools will look in the registry for the required nameserver
information. However if you wish to create a resolv.conf file as
follows it will use it in preference to the registry nameserver
entries.
To create a resolv.conf you need to place it in the System32\Drivers\etc
directory and it needs to contain a list of nameserver addresses to
use to find the nameserver authoritative for the zone. The format of
