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






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






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






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






5. 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






6. 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






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






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






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






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






11. 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.






12. 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.






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






14. Together - aging and scavenging provide a mechanism to ______ resource records - which can accumulate in zone data over time. Both aging and scavenging are disabled by default.






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






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






17. 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:






18. Scavenging can occur only when ______ is enabled.






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






20. 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






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






22. 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.






23. 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.






24. 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
