Hello nme,
quite easy - create a new host with the name "test.1" in your domains zone and it'll be created under the same folder. Those folders you see underneath the zone (and Zones are all on the top level, right after "Forward Lookup Zones" and "Reverse Lookup Zones") do not really exist, in DNS only the records exist within a zone and the dns-managementconsole makes those folders up to navigate easily. The "folders" are displayed with every segment distinguished by a "." (dot/point). So for example there's a record _ldap._tcp.Default-First-Site-Name._sites.example.com IN SRV yadda-yadda Which is displayed in dnsmgmt.msc underneath Example.com | +- _sites | | | +- Default-First-Site-Name | | | | | +- _tcp However, if you look in the Active Directory Container which holds the zone (or in the file if DNS is not AD-integrated) you will neither see subcontainers or objects with the names _tcp... or Default-First-Site-Name... or _sites... - they are just made up because there's a single (or multiple records) which have those names between dots. So in your case - if the record was created manually, you might just recreate it without a .1 at the end (test this and verify the printers name), if it was registered automatically you need to change the name of the printer.

There is a single A-record under it for one of our printers. Any idea what this folder is? Thanks. -- nme
