Hello

Simple question, is there any method or way on how to test and check Internal DNS A record Propagation ?

The scenario is we will be adding new Host record on our internal DNS server and updates of those PTR records. How can i check if the dns A record has been completed propagated?

    Hi,

    You can use Nslookup command to check DNS Records. All your machines that point to your internal DNS will resolve A record and PTR record succesfully.

    Nslookup A record or FQDN should return corresponding IP address. Nslookup IP address should return corresponding FQDN.

    For more details about the command of Nslookup, you can refer to the following article:
