UCF currently operates three root name servers for the ucf.edu domain. The UCF root DNS server addresses are:
The Network Operations Center recommends that all network systems be configured to use these servers for DNS resolution.
Basic instructions for configuring all three DNS servers in Windows are provided below. Instructions for departments operating their own DNS servers are provided after the basic instructions.
