How do I prevent Microsoft DNS from reporting version number?

Solution 1:

@mfinni - I agree, that is worth of posting as an answer; To quote the poster @Novox

dnscmd /config /EnableVersionQuery 0

Solution 2:

The command:

dnscmd /config /EnableVersionQuery 0

Does nothing else then changing the registry key

EnableVersionQuery

as mentioned here. So I would like to add that option here as well, as you can push it out via GPO to all Microsoft DNS Server if needed (this was needed for me, so I does some deeper research). The link above mentioned that the Version is no longer activated with Windows 2012, so this solution might be only needed with Windows 2008
