### Use Case 5: Domain Controllers
**Problem**: Running NetBird on a Windows Domain Controller used as a routing peer can cause DNS conflicts, since Domain Controllers rely on their own DNS configuration for Active Directory services.

3. Add the Domain Controller group to **Disable DNS management for these groups**
4. Save Changes
