Microsoft DNS Web Admin

Most if not all DNS servers have a web interface, why not Microsoft's DNS?


I decided to write one, just because I got tired from logging in to a server every time I wanted to change something, yes, I know about remote management, it wasn't an option for that particular case. time passed by and by the time I was almost done, the project was irrelevant, I did have some fun writing it though!


So here it is before you, mostly working, some parts don't, mostly tested.

If you'd like to finish it, enjoy, its on github just for that.






Project contains two interesting libraries:


Heijden.DNS - for querying everything a DNS can tell you, including a trace.


DNSManagement - C# wrapper for WMI MicrosoftDNS namespace.

Network information and tracing

We all have these times where we offer help or asked to do things outside our job description, some more reasonable then others, this tool was written to help those times and shorten the time we did something else so we can get back to the more interesting stuff.

Here are some of the features:

Fully multithreaded
Tabbed browser-like environment
Whois client, you can add your servers easily!
Traceroute and see estimated distances between nodes.
Watch your routes on the globe!
ASN/Peers information
Get Abuse emails for your hostnames
Check if your IPs/Hostnames are in spam blacklists
a DNS tracing tool.

GeoLite City needs to be updated for the maps to show correct locations.

I felt creative that week, so I even did a website for this project! Be gentle, I'm a developer, not a designer :-)
