MCTS: Configuring A DNS Zone Infrastructure

Instructions:
  • Answer 50 questions in 15 minutes.
  • If you are not ready to take this test, you can study here.
  • Match each statement with the correct term.
  • Don't refresh. All questions and answers are randomly picked and ordered every time you load a test.

This is a study tool. The 3 wrong answers for each question are randomly chosen from answers to other questions. So, you might find at times the answers obvious, but you will see it re-enforces your understanding as you take the test each time.

2. Win 7 clients can be configured to request DNSSEC through the Name Resolution Policy Table (NRPT) in ______.






3. The ______ option stores the new zone in the ForestDnsZones partition. Every DC in the entire forest and on which the DNS Server role is installed will receive a copy of the zone.






4. To ______ a zone is to create a new zone for a subdomain within a DNS namespace and relinquish authority of that new zone.






5. A secondary zone will not be recognized as a valid name server until it contains a valid copy of zone data. For the secondary zone to obtain this data - you must first ______ to that server.






6. Manually created resource records for all zone types are assigned a time stamp of 0; this value indicates that they ______ be aged.






7. ______ in DNS refers to the process of using time stamps to track the age of dynamically registered resource records.






8. The value you configure in the ______ text box determines the default Time to Live (TTL) that is applied to all resource records in the zone. The default value is one hour.






9. When the zone is stored in a file instead of AD - by default the primary zone file is named zone_name.dns - and this file is located in the ______ folder on the server.






10. A ______ is a public key for a remote DNS server that is trusted and able to provide DNSSEC responses.






11. The ______ service uses SRV records to locate DCs in a domain by searching the domain for the LDAP service.

14. By default - DCs include two application directory partitions reserved for DNS data: ______.






15. The ______ partition is replicated among all DCs that are also DNS servers in a particular domain






16. TTL values are not relevant for resource records within their authoritative zones. Instead - the TTL refers to ______ in nonauthoritative servers. A DNS server that has cached a resource record from a previous query discards the record when that reco






17. ______ are public keys from other zones that are used to validate digitally signed records originating from those zones and from delegated subdomains that are also DNSSEC-compatible.






18. If either of the default application directory partitions is deleted or damaged - you can re-create them in DNS Manager by right-clicking the server node and choosing ______.






19. By right-clicking a secondary zone in the DNS Manager console tree - you can use the shortcut menu to perform the following secondary zone update operations:






20. Active Directory-integrated zones perform time stamping for dynamically registered records by default - even before aging and scavenging are enabled. However - primary standard zones place time stamps on dynamically registered records in the zone onl






21. DNS delegations are automatically used to separate ______ in a single forest.






22. The most common resource records you need to create manually include the following:






23. During this operation - the server hosting the local secondary zone determines whether the serial number in the secondary zone's SOA resource record has expired and then pulls a zone transfer from the master server.






24. When you do not store a zone in AD - the zone is called a ______ zone - and zone data is stored in text files on the DNS server.

27. A ______ zone provides original read-write source data that allows the local DNS server to answer DNS queries authoritatively about a portion of a DNS namespace.






28. To configure notifications - click ______ on the Zone Transfers tab when zone transfers are enabled.

31. The ___________________ dialog box enables you to modify two key settings related to aging and scavenging: 1. the no-refresh interval 2. and the refresh interval






32. The ______ option stores the zone in the user-created application directory partition specified in the associated drop-down list box.

35. To create a custom application directory partition - type the following command:






36. The GlobalNames zone is compatible only with DNS servers running ______. Therefore - it cannot replicate to servers running earlier versions of Windows Server.






37. The value you configure in the ______ text box determines how long a secondary server waits before retrying a failed zone transfer. Normally - this time is less than the refresh interval. The default value is 10 minutes.






38. You must be a member of the ______ group to create an application directory partition.






39. For a delegation to be implemented - the parent zone must contain a _____ and an _____ (called a glue record) pointing to each authoritative server of the delegated domain.






40. Alias resource records are sometimes called canonical names (CNAME). These records allow you to ______ a single host.






41. The ______ allows you to specify the DNS query suffixes - prefixes - FQDNs - or reverse lookup subnets for which a Win 7 or Win Server 2008 R2 client will request DNSSEC.
