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.
1. 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.






2. 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






3. You use Group Policy to configure DNS clients to _________________.






4. Also recommended for use in the following scenarios: When a host specified in an A resource record in the same zone needs to be renamed - When a generic name for a well-known server such as www needs to resolve to a group of individual computers tha






5. This operation performs a zone transfer from the secondary zone's master server regardless of the serial number in the secondary zone's SOA resource record.






6. 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.






7. 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






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






9. 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.

13. You can perform a delegation only from a ________________.






14. By default - zone transfers are ______ from any zone.






15. 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






16. 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.

19. What are the server requirements for storing a zone in AD?






20. The refresh interval is the time after the no-refresh interval during which time stamp refreshes are ______ and resource records are not scavenged. The default refresh interval is 7 days.






21. Increasing the refresh interval ______ zone transfer traffic.






22. In this way - digital signatures use ______ cryptography to prove that information is unspoofed and unchanged.






23. A ______ is a database containing records that associate names with addresses for a defined portion of a DNS namespace.






24. Consequently - when aging is enabled - dynamically registered resource records can be scavenged after ___ days by default.






25. DNSSEC in Win Server 2008 R2 allows a ______ to validate DNS data on behalf of its Win 7 clients.






26. The no-refresh interval is the period after a time stamp during which a zone or server rejects a ______ refresh. The default no-refresh interval is 7 days.






27. ______ zones provide a means to offload DNS query traffic in areas of the network where a zone is heavily queried and used.






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






29. To add an NS record - double-click any existing NS record in DNS Manager and add the server data to the ______ tab.






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






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






32. Public key cryptography provides ______ - which means that separate keys are used to encrypt and decrypt data.






33. The source zones from which secondary zones acquire their info are called ______ - and the data copy procedures through which this info is regularly updated are called zone transfers.






34. The ______ option stores the new zone in the Domain-DnsZones partition. Every DC in the local domain and on which the DNS Server role is installed will receive a copy of the zone.






35. 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.






36. To enable GlobalNames zone support - At an elevated command prompt - type the following: ______.






37. Scavenging can occur only when ______ is enabled.






38. The Zone Transfers tab also allows you to configure ______ to secondary servers whenever a change occurs at the primary zone.






39. The first step in preparing a zone for DNSSEC is to back up the current zone data. To back up a zone - type the following command at an elevated command prompt: _______.

42. There are three basic steps in _______________: 1. Enable GlobalNames zone support. 2. Create the GlobalNames zone. 3. Populate the GlobalNames zone.






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






44. For a DC to fall within the scope of such a directory partition - you must ______ that DC in the partition.






45. Any of three events can ________________: When the refresh interval of the primary zone's SOA resource record expires - When a server hosting a secondary zone boots up - When a change occurs in the configuration of the primary zone and this primary






46. When you create a new zone - two types of records required for the zone are automatically created. List them.
