Administering Windows Server 2012 — Question 39

Your network contains an Active Directory domain named contoso.com. All domain controllers run Windows Server 2012 R2. One of the domain controllers is named DC1.
The DNS zone for the contoso.com zone is Active Directory-integrated and has the default settings.
A server named Server1 is a DNS server that runs a UNIX-based operating system.
You plan to use Server1 as a secondary DNS server for the contoso.com zone.
You need to ensure that Server1 can host a secondary copy of the contoso.com zone.
What should you do?

Answer options

• A. From DNS Manager, modify the Advanced settings of DC1.
• B. From DNS Manager, modify the Zone Transfers settings of the contoso.com zone.
• C. From Windows PowerShell, run the Set-DnsServerForwardercmdlet and specify the contoso.com zone as a target.
• D. From DNS Manager, modify the Security settings of DC1.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because configuring a DNS server as a secondary server requires specifying the zone for which it will receive zone transfers. The Set-DnsServerForwarder cmdlet allows you to set up the necessary configuration. Options A, B, and D do not directly enable Server1 to host a secondary copy of the zone and instead pertain to other settings that do not affect zone transfers.
