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






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






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






5. Scavenging can occur only when ______ is enabled.






6. 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.






7. 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.






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






9. 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.






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

12. Increasing the refresh interval ______ zone transfer traffic.






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






14. The _____ option stores the zone in the domain partition. Every DC in the local domain will receive a copy of the zone - regardless of whether the DNS Server role is installed on that DC.






15. 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

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






18. DNSSEC in Win Server 2008 R2 allows a ______ to validate DNS data on behalf of its Win 7 clients.






19. 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






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






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






22. To ______ a zone is to create a new zone for a subdomain within a DNS namespace and relinquish authority of that new zone.






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






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






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






26. 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:






27. 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.






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






29. 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.






30. 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.






31. When you do not store a zone in AD - the zone is called a ______ zone - and zone data is stored in text files on the DNS server.






32. 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.






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






34. ______ refers to the process of deleting outdated resource records on which time stamps have been placed.






35. 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.






36. Used to facilitate the resolution of single-label computer names in a large network.






37. 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.
