Description

This utility is a GUI alternative to the NSLookup tool that comes with Windows operating system. It allows you to easily retrieve the DNS records (MX, NS, A, SOA) of the specified domains. You can use the default DNS server of your Internet connection, or use any other DNS server that you specify. After retrieving the DNS records for the desired domains, you can save them into text/xml/html/csv file.

System Requirements

DNSDataView can work on Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, Windows Vista, and Windows Server 2008. Older versions of Windows are not supported.

Using DNSDataView

DNSDataView doesn't require any installation process or additional DLL files. In order to start using it, simply run the executable file - DNSDataView.exe
After running it, you can type one or more domains that you wish to view their DNS information, and click 'Ok'. After very short time, you should get all DNS records of the specified domains in the main window of DNSDataView.
If DNSDataView fails to retrieve the DNS records, you should try to manually type the DNS server of your Internet provider.

Translating DNSDataView to other languages

In order to translate DNSDataView to other language, follow the instructions below:

Run DNSDataView with /savelangfile parameter:
DNSDataView.exe /savelangfile
A file named DNSDataView_lng.ini will be created in the folder of DNSDataView utility.
Open the created language file in Notepad or in any other text editor.
Translate all string entries to the desired language. Optionally, you can also add your name and/or a link to your Web site. (TranslatorName and TranslatorURL values) If you add this information, it'll be used in the 'About' window.
After you finish the translation, Run DNSDataView, and all translated strings will be loaded from the language file.
