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






2. 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






3. The ______ option stores the new zone in the ForestDnsZones partition. Every DC in the entire forest and on which the DNS Server role is installed will receive a copy of the zone.






4. To enable aging for a particular zone - you have to enable this feature both at the ______ level.






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






6. What kind of zones do not automatically perform time stamping on dynamically created resource records?






7. 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.






8. 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.






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

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






12. Increasing the refresh interval ______ zone transfer traffic.






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






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






15. 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.






16. 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.






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

24. For a delegation to be implemented - the parent zone must contain a _____ and an _____ (called a glue record) pointing to each authoritative server of the delegated domain.






25. 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.






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