Upgrading Your Skills to MCSA Windows Server 2012 — Question 29

Your network contains two DNS servers named DNS1 and DNS2 that run Windows Server 2012 R2. DNS1 has a primary zone named contoso.com. DNS2 has a secondary copy of the contoso.com zone.
You need to log the zone transfer packets sent between DNS1 and DNS2.
What should you configure?

Answer options

• A. debug logging from DNS Manager
• B. logging from Windows Firewall with Advanced Security
• C. monitoring from DNS Manager
• D. a Data Collector Set (DCS) from Performance Monitor

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because monitoring from DNS Manager allows you to track DNS events, including zone transfers. The other options do not specifically target logging DNS zone transfer packets; debug logging might help but is not the primary method for this, while Windows Firewall logging and DCS from Performance Monitor are not focused on DNS operations.
