Networking with Windows Server 2016 — Question 137

You have an IP Address Management (IPAM) deployment that is used to manage all of the DNS servers on your network. IPAM is configured to use Group Policy provisioning.
You discover that a user adds a new mail exchanger (MX) record to one of the DNS zones.
You want to identify which user added the record.
You open Event Catalog on an IPAM server, and you discover that the most recent event occurred yesterday.
You need to ensure that the operational events in the event catalog are never older than one hour.
What should you do?

Answer options

• A. From the properties on the DNS zones, modify the refresh interval.
• B. From an IPAM_DNS Group Policy object (GPO), modify the Group Policy refresh interval.
• C. From Task Scheduler, modify the Microsoft\Windows\IPAM\Audit task.
• D. From Task Scheduler, create a scheduled task that runs the Update-IpamServer cmdlet.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because modifying the Microsoft\Windows\IPAM\Audit task in Task Scheduler allows you to adjust how frequently the IPAM server audits and logs events, ensuring they are updated in a timely manner. Options A and B do not directly address the frequency of event logging in the IPAM event catalog. Option D creates a scheduled task that may not specifically target the logging of operational events efficiently.
