MCTS: Configuring A DNS Zone Infrastructure

Instructions:
  • Answer 50 questions in 20 minutes. 1 minute extra for reading the instructions.
  • 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. Alias resource records are sometimes called canonical names (CNAME). These records allow you to ______ a single host.






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. 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.






4. 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.






5. The four options presented on the _____________________ are the following: 1. To All DNS Servers In This Forest 2. To All DNS Servers In This Domain 3. To All DCs In This Domain 4. To All DCs Specified In The Scope Of This Directory Partition

13. 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.






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






15. The value you configure in the ______ text box determines how long a secondary DNS server waits before querying the master server for a zone renewal. The default value for this setting is 15 minutes.

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






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






28. 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.






29. 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.
