Configuring Windows Server Hybrid Advanced Services — Question 47

Your network contains an Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) domain named contoso.com. Contoso.com contains a member server named server1.contoso.com.

You cannot resolve the FQDN of server1.contoso.com.

You verify that Windows Defender Firewall is configured correctly and that you can ping server1.contoso.com successfully by using the server’s IP address.

You need to validate that the DNS record for server1.contoso.com exists.

Which command should you run?

Answer options

• A. tracert
• B. ipconfig
• C. pathping
• D. nslookup

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, as 'nslookup' is a command used to query the DNS to check for the existence of DNS records. The other options do not serve this purpose; 'tracert' is used for tracing the route to a destination, 'ipconfig' displays network configuration details, and 'pathping' combines features of ping and tracert but does not specifically check DNS records.
