Networking with Windows Server 2016 — Question 128

Your network contains an Active Directory domain named contoso.com. The domain contains a DHCP server named Server1 that runs Windows Server 2016.
You have a DHCP scope for the 10.0.0.0/24 IP subnet. One hundred and fifty clients reside in the subnet. Fifty of the DHCP clients are NOT domain-joined.
You need to ensure that DHCP clients without a configured DNS suffix register automatically in a DNS zone named workgroup.contoso.com. The other DHCP clients must register in the DNS zone of their respective domain.
What should you do?

Answer options

• A. Configure the 015 DNS Domain Name scope option in the 10.0.0.0/24 DHCP scope.
• B. Configure the DNS properties of the 10.0.0.0/24 DHCP scope.
• C. Create a DHCP policy that has a condition based on the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) criterion. Configure the IP address range properties of the policy.
• D. Create a DHCP policy that has a condition based on the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) criterion. Configure the DNS properties of the policy.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because creating a DHCP policy allows you to specify different DNS registration settings for clients based on their FQDN. This ensures that clients without a configured DNS suffix can be directed to register in the workgroup.contoso.com zone, while domain-joined clients will use their respective domain's DNS zone. Options A and B do not provide the necessary granularity to differentiate the DNS registration based on client types, and option C misses the DNS properties configuration.
