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.

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






3. 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.






4. The ______ partition is replicated among all DCs that are also DNS servers in a particular domain






5. 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.






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






7. This operation performs a zone transfer from the secondary zone's master server regardless of the serial number in the secondary zone's SOA resource record.






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






9. Scavenging can occur only when ______ is enabled.






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






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

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

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






22. Any of three events can ________________: When the refresh interval of the primary zone's SOA resource record expires - When a server hosting a secondary zone boots up - When a change occurs in the configuration of the primary zone and this primary






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






24. 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.

27. The value you configure in the ______ text box determines how long a secondary DNS server waits before querying the master server for a zone renewal. The default value for this setting is 15 minutes.






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






29. 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.






30. You use Group Policy to configure DNS clients to _________________.






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






32. 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
