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






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






3. 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.






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






5. The most common resource records you need to create manually include the following:






6. 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






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






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






9. 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

11. 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.






12. In this way - digital signatures use ______ cryptography to prove that information is unspoofed and unchanged.






13. 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.

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






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

20. Alias resource records are sometimes called canonical names (CNAME). These records allow you to ______ a single host.






21. The ______ allows you to specify the DNS query suffixes - prefixes - FQDNs - or reverse lookup subnets for which a Win 7 or Win Server 2008 R2 client will request DNSSEC.






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






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






24. 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.






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

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






39. 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
