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






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






3. Increasing the refresh interval ______ zone transfer traffic.






4. What is the name of the record that contains a hash of the public key in a delegated subdomain?






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






6. 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.






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






8. The value you configure in the ______ text box determines the length of time that a secondary server - without any contact with its master server - continues to answer queries from DNS clients. After this time elapses - the data is considered unrelia






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






10. When you create a new zone - two types of records required for the zone are automatically created: ______






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






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






13. A ______ is a data structure in AD that distinguishes data for different replication purposes.

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






16. 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:






17. 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.






18. To enlist other DNS servers in the partition - type the following command:






19. 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.






20. This operation reloads the secondary zone from the local storage.






21. 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: _______.






22. What does the 10 refer to in the following example: _ldap._tcp SRV 0 0 389 dc1.lucernepublishing.com.SRV 10 0 389 dc2.lucernepublishing.com.






23. ______ resource records are used to specify the location of specific services in a domain.






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






25. 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.






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






27. When scavenging is not enabled - you can perform manual scavenging in zones by right-clicking the server icon in the DNS Manager console tree and then choosing ______.






28. A ______ zone is similar to a secondary zone - but it contains only those resource records necessary to identify the authoritative DNS servers for the master zone.






29. Scavenging can occur only when ______ is enabled.






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






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






32. DNSSEC enables a DNS server to ______ the resource records in its zones.

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






40. 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.
