Hi Steve, How do I stop my DNS server thinking it is a root DNS server?
I can see how to add forwards once the server stops thinking it is a root server - but until then it is greyed out.. The server is the root Active Directory Server for the local (internal) domain. (it is the only server in the domain for that matter...)

Try changing that setting and add other DNS servers into your network properties along with fowards in your DNS server settings.
