Ticket was cloned from Red Hat Bugzilla (product Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7): Bug 1579296
Description of problem: In case the integrated DNS service should be used for IdM, either by using the non-interactive '--setup-dns' option or by answering 'yes' to the interactive 'Do you want to configure integrated DNS (BIND)?' question, the check whether the 'ipa-server-dns' package is installed, only comes after a lot of other information have been evaluated ([server|dns|realm] name, DM and admin password). This is annoying in case of an interactive installation procedure where all those information have to be entered manually. The ask here is to perform the check, whether the 'ipa-server-dns' package is installed or not, earlier in the installation routine. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:
