WPAD DNS QUERY ISSUE

Hi Friends,

In an network environment, PC is configured as " automatically detect settings" on Internet explorer, it will query for the proxy server using WPAD (Web Proxy Auto discovery Protocol). it can be achieve two ways DHCP / DNS server.

here problem we faced in DNS server,

Application team has migrated to New DNS server 2012.  From PC , we are unable to ping wpad.domin.name but it exist in the DNS server.after all the troubleshooting, we found above Microsoft 2008, global query block list is enabled . hence, WPAD will have local IP address will not be resolve untill it is unblocked.


Use the dnscmd command-line tool to manage the global query block list. Open a command line prompt, and then do the following:
  1. To check whether the global query block is enabled, type the following:
    dnscmd /info /enableglobalqueryblocklist
  2. To display the host names in the current block list, type the following:
    dnscmd /info /globalqueryblocklist
  3. To disable the block list and ensure that the DNS Server service does not ignore queries for names in the block list, type the following:
    dnscmd /config /enableglobalqueryblocklist 0
  4. To enable the block list and ensure that the DNS Server service ignores queries for names in the block list, type the following:
    dnscmd /config /enableglobalqueryblocklist 0
