The Domain Name System (DNS) server for the network is running UNIX and the most recent version of BIND. The BIND server called DNS01 is a primary server for the internal DNS domain named contoso.com.

    You run the Active Directory Installation Wizard (dcpromo.exe) on a server named SRV01 to create an Active Directory domain named ad.contoso.com for the network. You allow the wizard to install and configure DNS on the server with default settings.

    On DNS01, you delegate the subdomain ad.contoso.com to SRV01. You plan to configure DNS01 as a secondary server for ad.contoso.com. You need to ensure that SRV01 can communicate with DNS01. Your solution must ensure that the servers communicate as efficiently as possible. What should you do?

    bull.jpg

    A.

    Disable the BIND secondaries option on SRV01

    bull.jpg
