"DNS information can be stored in traditional zone files, Active Directory-integrated zones, or application partitions, which are new to Windows Server 2012." Custom application partitions were introduced in Windows Server 2003.

running ws2012 standard: bcdedit /export c:\backup\bcd results in: store export operation failed Insufficient system resources to complete operation Howeevr, citing file and extension: bcdedit /export c:\backup\bcd\bcd.tmp (or any file extension) results in successful execution and import back I've read that file and file extension shouldnt be necessary. Is it?

Note from the Author or Editor:
The examples should show the full path, including the file extension: bcdedit /export c:\backup\bcd.dat and bcdedit /import c:\backup\bcd.dat The c:\backup folder must exist or you'll get an error stating the system cannot find the path specified.

2nd line in the "Note"

The text reads: ...If you don't want DNS clients to resolve names using devolution, "Disable" the Primary DNS Suffix setting in the Administrative Templates for Computer Configuraiton...... I think you meant to say - Enable: ...If you don't want DNS clients to resolve names using devolution, "Enable" the Primary DNS Suffix setting in the Administrative Templates for Computer Configuraiton......

Note from the Author or Editor:
Text should state: If you don't want DNS clients to resolve names using devolution, disable the Primary DNS Suffix Devolution setting...
