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.

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






3. 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.






4. Scavenging can occur only when ______ is enabled.






5. 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.

7. 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 ______.






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






9. To configure notifications - click ______ on the Zone Transfers tab when zone transfers are enabled.

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






22. If either of the default application directory partitions is deleted or damaged - you can re-create them in DNS Manager by right-clicking the server node and choosing ______.






23. 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.






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






25. 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:

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






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