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






3. 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.






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






5. 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.
