Powershell is not the only way to configure DNS
and DHCP settings
Global Names can still be used
Be able to distinguish between stub zones,
forward & reverse lookup zones
Practice Question
Server1 runs Server 2012 with the DNS Server role installed. Server1 is
joined to the Active Directory domain.
Users that have computers joined to the same domain are reporting
that they are not able to resolve any server names.
After troubleshooting this issue, you find that the DNS IP address
configured on the clients is different from the IP address of Server1.
You need to prevent this issue in the future. What should you do?
a. Configure a static IP address for Server1
b. Create a PTR DNS resource record for Server1
c. Configure static IP addresses for client computers
