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. To add an NS record - double-click any existing NS record in DNS Manager and add the server data to the ______ tab.






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






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 ______ refers to the process of deleting outdated resource records on which time stamps have been placed.






4. 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.






5. 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 ______.






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






7. 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.






8. 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.






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






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






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






12. 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.






13. 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.






14. Consequently - when aging is enabled - dynamically registered resource records can be scavenged after ___ days by default.






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






16. The ___________________ dialog box enables you to modify two key settings related to aging and scavenging: 1. the no-refresh interval 2. and the refresh interval






17. 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.






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






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






20. 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.






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






22. Increasing the refresh interval ______ zone transfer traffic.






23. 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.






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






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






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






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






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






29. 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






30. The refresh interval is the time after the no-refresh interval during which time stamp refreshes are ______ and resource records are not scavenged. The default refresh interval is 7 days.






31. You can perform a delegation only from a ________________.






32. By default - DCs include two application directory partitions reserved for DNS data: ______.






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






34. 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






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






36. 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:






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

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






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






41. 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 ______.






42. 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.
