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.
1. The ______ partition is replicated among all DCs that are also DNS servers in every domain in an AD forest.






2. 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






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






4. Scavenging can occur only when ______ is enabled.






5. 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.
