WARNING: Windows Server 2022 domain controllers have a default for the security setting named "Allow cryptography algorithms
compatible with Windows NT 4.0" that prevents weaker cryptography algorithms when establishing security channel sessions.

For more information about this setting, see Knowledge Base article 942564 (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=104751).

WARNING: A delegation for this DNS server cannot be created because the authoritative parent zone cannot be found or it does
not run Windows DNS server. If you are integrating with an existing DNS infrastructure, you should manually create a delegation
 to this DNS server in the parent zone to ensure reliable name resolution from outside the domain "srv.world". Otherwise, no
action is required.
