Rate this question:
7.

DNS is capable of resolving Ip to NetBIOS names. T/F?
- True
- False
Correct Answer

A. False

Explanation

DNS can resolve only Host names to IP addresses and vice versa.

- True
- False
Correct Answer

A. False

Explanation

RAID is very much essential for online data storage fault tolerance.

Rate this question:
13.

The DNS server uses broadcast method first to determine IP to Host resolution. T/F?
- True
- False
Correct Answer

A. False

Explanation

The DNS service will first refer its cache, then the database and so on to perform resolution. Broadcast is employed only when the DNS service fails to fulfill the resolution.

Rate this question:
14.

A Server configuration cannot boot from IDE devices. T/F?
- True
- False
Correct Answer

A. False

Explanation

A server configuration can boot from IDE device, but IDE cannot provide the fault tolerance needed by the Server.

Rate this question:
15.
