Hi!
If we are using Active Directory Integrated DNS and I wish to deploy a domain controller at a branch office under the same domain (given that the main site would use something like 192.168.132.x and the branch would use 192.168.135.x) would I need to manually add and DNS zones manually or is this automated.

It is not a new zone. You would have an entry in AD sites and services for the subnet so AD knows about it.

Ahh OK - much appreciated. Reason that I was asking is that we have this same setup for an existing branch (containing a Domian Controller and different subnet). All DNS servers contain a reverse lookup zone for this branch subnet also.

Ok so would a new reverse zone need to be setup in DNS for the branch range IF Sites and Services has been configured.
