DNS/DHCP Management Console

Find Object

This task helps you easily locate an object in the objects tree that is present in the DNS or DHCP service window. You can only locate the objects that are currently shown in the tree (by expanding their parent nodes).

To locate an object in DNS tree, use the Find icon from the DNS service window toolbar; and to locate an object in the DHCP tree, use the Find icon from the DHCP service window toolbar .

To locate an object in DNS objects tree:

  1. Select any object from the DNS objects tree and click Find on the toolbar.
    The Find icon gets enabled only when any object of the tree is selected. You can also use the find operation by selecting an object in the tree and then typing the first character of the object you want to locate.
  2. In the Find dialog box, type the name of the object you want to locate.
    The first object whose name starts with the character you specified is selected. You can also type some more characters of the name to locate your object or use Next to view other objects whose name start with the characters you typed in.
  3. After you locate the object, click Select to see the selected object properties in the right window.
    Click cancel to return to the property page of the object that you selected.

You can use a similar procedure to locate any object in the DHCP objects tree.
