What locator records within DNS allow clients to locate an Active Directory domain controller or global catalog?
- A.
  
  A records
- B.
  
  MX records
- C.
  
  SRV records
- D.
  
  SOA records
Correct Answer
C. SRV records

Explanation
SRV records, or Service records, within DNS allow clients to locate an Active Directory domain controller or global catalog. These records provide information about specific services available on a particular server, such as the domain controller or global catalog. By querying the SRV records, clients can obtain the necessary information to connect to the appropriate server and access the required services within the Active Directory domain. A records, MX records, and SOA records do not specifically provide the required information for locating domain controllers or global catalogs.

What is the process of replicating DNS information from one DNS server to another?
- A.
  
  Replication
- B.
  
  DNS push
- C.
  
  Zone transfer
- D.
  
  DNS update
Correct Answer
C. Zone transfer

Explanation
Zone transfer is the process of replicating DNS information from one DNS server to another. It involves transferring the entire zone file, which contains all the DNS records for a specific domain, from the primary DNS server to the secondary DNS server. This ensures that both servers have the same up-to-date DNS information, allowing for redundancy and improved fault tolerance in case one server becomes unavailable.

What type of trust relationship allows you to create two-way transitive trusts between separate forests?
- A.
  
  Shortcut
- B.
  
  Cross-forest
- C.
  
  External
- D.
  
  Real
Correct Answer
B. Cross-forest

Explanation
A cross-forest trust relationship allows for the creation of two-way transitive trusts between separate forests. This means that users in one forest can access resources in the other forest, and vice versa. This type of trust relationship is commonly used when organizations have multiple forests and need to enable collaboration and resource sharing between them. It provides a secure and efficient way to establish trust and communication between separate Active Directory environments.

What type of zone is necessary for computer hostname-to-IP address mappings, which are used for name resolution by a variety of services?
- A.
  
  Primary lookup
- B.
  
  Secondary lookup
- C.
  
  Forward lookup
- D.
  
  Reverse lookup
Correct Answer
C. Forward lookup

Explanation
A forward lookup zone is necessary for computer hostname-to-IP address mappings. This type of zone is used for name resolution by various services. In a forward lookup, the DNS server resolves a hostname to its corresponding IP address. This allows devices to communicate with each other using domain names instead of IP addresses, making it easier for users to remember and access resources on a network.

What type of zone is necessary for computer hostname-to-IP address mappings, which are used for name resolution by a variety of services?
- A.
  
  Primary lookup
- B.
  
  Secondary lookup
- C.
  
  Forward lookup
- D.
  
  Reverse lookup
Correct Answer
C. Forward lookup

Explanation
A forward lookup zone is necessary for computer hostname-to-IP address mappings. This type of zone is used for name resolution by various services. It allows the translation of hostnames to their corresponding IP addresses, enabling devices to communicate with each other on a network. By performing a forward lookup, a computer can determine the IP address associated with a given hostname, allowing for successful communication and data transfer.
