Networking Fundamentals — Question 16

Which utility would you use to determine if your Domain Name System (DNS) server is properly resolving fully qualified domain names (FQDNs) as IP addresses?

Answer options

• A. netstat
• B. nslookup
• C. nbtstat
• D. ipconfig

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, ipconfig, as it can display DNS configuration details and check DNS resolution. Options A (netstat) and C (nbtstat) are used for network statistics and NetBIOS over TCP/IP, respectively, while B (nslookup) is primarily used for querying DNS records rather than determining if a DNS server is resolving FQDNs correctly.
