Your network contains an Active Directory domain named contoso.com. The domain contains a member server named Server1 that runs Windows Server 2016 and has the DNS Server server role installed. Automatic scavenging of stale records is enabled and the scavenging period is set to 10 days.
All client computers dynamically register their names in the contoso.com DNS zone on Server1.
You discover that the names of multiple client computers that were removed from the network several weeks ago can still be resolved.
You need to configure Server1 to automatically remove the records of the client computers that have been offline for more than 10 days.
Solution: You set the Expires after value of the zone.
Does this meet the goal?

Answer options

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Setting the Expires after value of the zone does not directly influence the scavenging process for stale DNS records. The scavenging process relies on the 'Last Updated' timestamp of the records, and merely adjusting the Expires after value will not trigger the removal of records that have been stale for more than the specified period. Therefore, this solution does not meet the goal.
