Configuring Advanced Windows Server 2012 Services — Question 67

Your network contains an Active Directory domain named contoso.com.
All domain controllers run Windows Server 2012. 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.
Whatshould you do?

Answer options

• A. From Windows PowerShell, run the Set-DnsServerForwarder cmdlet and specify the contoso.com zone as a target.
• B. From Windows PowerShell, run the Set-DnsServerSetting cmdlet and specify DC1 as a target.
• C. From Windows PowerShell, run theSet-DnsServerPrimaryZone cmdlet and specify the contoso.com zone as a target.
• D. From DNS Manager, modify the Advanced settings of DC1.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because running the Set-DnsServerPrimaryZone cmdlet establishes the contoso.com zone on the primary server, allowing Server1 to act as a secondary DNS server. The other options do not facilitate the necessary configuration for a secondary DNS server; for instance, setting a forwarder or modifying settings does not create a secondary zone.
