a. DomainDNSZones
b. Domain NC
c. Configuration NC
d. ForestDNSZones
Definition
DomainDNSZones

The DomainDNSZones application directory partition is only available at a domain functional level of Windows Server 2003 or higher
Term
What is configured on a primary name server so it can inform its secondary servers that changes are available in the primary zone?
a. Active Directory replication list
b. Active Directory replication partner
c. notify list
d. change notification list
Definition
notify list

When changes are made to a primary server configured with a notify list, a zone transfer will be automatically initiated
Term
Which program generates requests for DNS information and sends them to DNS name servers to be resolved?
a. iterative queries
b. recursive queries
c. resolvers
d. notify list
Definition
resolvers

Each Windows computer, both client and server operating systems, possess a DNS resolver to submit DNS queries to their configured DNS servers.
