You have multiple servers that run Windows Server 2016.
The DNS Server server role is installed on a server named Server1.
You need to configure Server1 to use a DNS forwarder that has an IP address of 192.168.10.15.
What should you run?

Answer options

• A. dism.exe
• B. dns.exe
• C. dnscmd.exe
• D. netsh.exe
• E. Set-DhcpServerDatabase
• F. Set-DhcpServerv4DnsSetting
• G. Set-DhcpServerv6DnsSetting
• H. Set-DNSServerSetting

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct command to configure a DNS forwarder in Windows Server is dnscmd.exe, which allows the DNS server to communicate with another server for name resolution. The other options are not related to DNS forwarding; for instance, dism.exe is used for deployment image servicing, while netsh.exe is for network configuration but does not handle DNS settings directly.
