ICANN
What are the three types of DNS queries?
Recursive, iterative, and inverse
What is an iterative query?
A DNS query where the DNS server is expected to return the best answer based on information in its own database
What is a recursive query?
A DNS query where the DNS server is expected to return either the answer or an error, even if it has to query other DNS servers to find the answer

none, nonsecure and secure, secure only
What is nonsecure DNS updating?
Where any computer can update a DNS table
What is secure DNS updating?
DNS queries AD to verify that an updater has a valid computer account
What is an inverse query?
A DNS query using PTR records to look up a hostname based on the IP address
What type of record does an inverse query use?
PTR records
What domain is used for inverse queries?
in.addr.arpa
How is in.addr.arpa arranged?
by IP address in reverse octet order
What does TTL specify?
How long a record may be cached
What is a negative cache TTL?
the amount of time to cache the fact that a record doesn't exist
What type of DNS query looks up hostnames based on IP address?
an inverse query
What filename extension do primary DNS zone files have?
.dns
What are two advantages of secondary DNS zones?
fault tolerance and load reduction
When choosing a DNS zone type, how do you specify an Active Directory-integrated zone?
check "Store the Zone in Active Directory" on the Zone Type screen
What server requirements exist for creating an AD-integrated zone?
The DNS server must be a writable DC
What do stub zones do?
Identify the authoritative DNS server for a zone
What three types of records can a stub zone contain?
Name Server (NS), Start of Authority (SOA), and glue Host (A) records
What do GlobalName Zones do?
map single-label names (CNAME) to FQDN's
Are GlobalName Zones dynamic?
no
What are the 2 types of zone transfers?
full zone transfers (AFXR) and incremental zone transfers (IXFR)
When do secondary DNS zones initiate incremental zone transfers?
When the refresh interval expires or the server reboots
What is DNS Notify?
the mechanism for notifying secondary DNS servers that a change has occurred
What does Background Zone Loading do?
loads AD zone data immediately when a DNS server restarts
What zone type was implemented to support using RODC's as DNS servers?
Primary Read-Only zones
What do DNS socket pools do?
allow source port randomization to protect against DNS cache poisoning
What technology was created to help prevent DNS cache poisoning?
DNS socket pools
What is DNS cache locking?
design that prevents cached records from being overwritten for a percentage of the record's TTL (default 100%)
What does DNSSEC do?
uses zone signing to secure resource records
Does DNSSEC sign entire zones, or individual records?
individual records
What are the digital signatures produced by DNSSEC called?
RRSIGs
What are trust anchors?
preconfigured public keys linked to a DNS zone
Where are trust anchors stored in an AD-integrated DNS zone?
in the directory partition of the forest
Where are trust anchors stored on a standalone DNS server?
in TrustAnchors.dns
What powershell command will retrieve trust anchors?
get-dnsservertrustanchor
What OS's can act as DNSSEC clients?
Windows 7 and above
What is DNS devolution?
DNS clients don't need to provide the full FQDN to search the parent namespace
What system is netmask ordering a part of?
round robin
What does netmask ordering do?
returns the host address on the same subnet as the resolver for a service
What does an SOA do?
identifies the general parameters of a DNS zone, including authoritative server
How is round robin configured in DNS?
add multiple A records with same hostname but different IP addresses
What is WINS forward lookup?
DNS passes queries it can't resolve to WINS for resolution
How are delegated zones configured?
place a delegation record in other zones for each delegated zone pointing to the authoritative server
What are the 2 types of DNS forwarding?
external and conditional
When are dynamic DNS records removed by the DNS client?
When the client shuts down cleanly
What determines if a DNS record is considered stale?
The scavenging interval
What determines when stale records are removed?
the cleanup interval
What DNS server tab has tools to test DNS?
Monitoring
What tab can be used to monitor inbound/outbound DNS traffic?
Debug Logging
What should you do if a simple query fails?
check to make sure zone 1.0.0.127.in-addr.arpa exists
What should you do if a recursive query fails?
check root hints and root servers
What are the two modes for nslookup?
standalone (single command) and interactive (multiple commands)
What does DNSLint /d do?
diagnoses "lame delegation"
What does DNSLint /ql do?
verifies a user-defined set of DNS records on multiple servers
What does DNSLint /ad do?
Verifies DNS records related to AD replication
What needs to be done to allow a zone transfer to a BIND DNS server?
enable BIND Secondaries on the Microsoft DNS server



What file are root hints stored in?




Cache.dns in %systemroot%/system32/dns

If dns not ad integrated then where is the zone data held?



%sustemroot%/system32/dns folder file called .dns

If you want to ensure users cannot access the Internet what can you do?


Create a new dns zone called . By creating this blank root zone it is considered authoritative for all top level domains.
Conditional forwarders
A conditional forwarder is a DNS server on a network that is used to forward DNS queries according to the DNS domain name in the query. For example, a DNS server can be configured to forward all the queries it receives for names ending with widgets.example.com to the IP address of a specific DNS server or to the IP addresses of multiple DNS servers.
DNS Forwarder (External)
A forwarder is a Domain Name System (DNS) server on a network that forwards DNS queries for external DNS names to DNS servers outside that network.By using a forwarder, you can manage name resolution for names outside your network, such as names on the Internet, and improve the efficiency of name resolution for the computers in your network

DNScmd A command-line interface for managing DNS servers. This utility is useful in scripting batch files to help automate routine DNS management tasks, or to perform simple unattended setup and configuration of new DNS servers on your network

dnscmd /name dnssvr1.contoso.com /recordadd test ptr 0.0.10.in-addr.arpa


dnscmd dnssvr1.contoso.com /recordadd test A 10.0.0.5
