DNS is a centrally managed service here, so our group doesn’t touch them directly, but we had several hoops to jump through recently in getting some standalone Lync 2013 VoIP devices provisioned, and the difficulty on the back end was getting the InfoBlox devices to handle it properly.
It may have been a learning curve thing, although the conversations we had with the provisioning folks echo some of the comments here in that navigating those things is an adventure… -sc From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Kuhlman, Donald Sent: Thursday, June 26, 2014 9:15 AM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [NTSysADM] Infoblox vs. native Windows Yep – that interface was a bit different ;) From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Mathew Shember Sent: Wednesday, June 25, 2014 5:21 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [NTSysADM] Infoblox vs. native Windows Oh yes.

Personally I’m happy with not hosting DNS/DCHP and letting the network folks manage it but that’s what I’m used to. The views and reporting are pretty awesome.

Smith Sent: Wednesday, June 25, 2014 2:48 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [NTSysADM] Infoblox vs. native Windows InfoBlox has great reporting. They also offered redundant/failover DHCP for many years before Windows did. It also simplifies the deployment of DNSSEC and IPv6 DNS (in terms, primarily, of the creation of reverse lookup zones) J That’s all I see – one man’s opinion.
