Hi everyone! I'm a DevOps engineer and I've recently been assigned a Mac by my company (not my first choice, to be honest). I'm on the hunt for some tools that will help me manage a DNS server and integrate with Microsoft Active Directory. Any suggestions?

You could use PowerShell Core to manage the DNS effectively; it doesn't really matter what OS you're on when you do that.
For basic DNS management on a Mac, you might want to check out dnsmasq or CoreDNS. If you need Active Directory integration, you will probably need a Windows Server VM or perhaps Samba 4.
I just need a straightforward way to work with the server, like adding and deleting DNS records, you know?
Have you thought about asking them to get you a Windows license so you can run a VM? I used to manage a Windows environment even while using a Mac, and it worked out fine.
That's really helpful, thanks for sharing!
I’m looking for something simpler for adding and removing records and navigating through the data easily.
