In this article, we will teach you how to restore DNS server 2022. When a disaster happens with the DNS server, we need to recover the DNS zone to its previous state as soon as possible. The initial option in the active directory domain service is authoritative restore. A dependable restore of an AD would be complicated and time-consuming and would also require the use of backups and a restart of the domain controller.
