Match each Active Directory and DNS configuration task with its primary objective.
Answer
Promote server to a Domain Controller - Establish the Active Directory domain and deploy integrated DNS, Configure client DNS to point to the Domain Controller - Enable the client to locate and join the domain, Create a forward lookup zone - Provide resolution of domain hostnames to IP addresses, Create a reverse lookup zone - Provide resolution of IP addresses to hostnames using PTR records
Explanation
Each action supports a different part of the lab’s DNS architecture. Promotion establishes the AD domain and includes DNS. The client must query the domain controller’s DNS service to locate the domain. The forward zone holds records used for name lookups, while the reverse zone supports lookups that start with IPv4 addresses. Confusing these steps can lead to a client that cannot join the domain or to records being placed in the wrong lookup namespace. **Key takeaway:** Deployment, client DNS configuration, and zone creation are linked but have distinct purposes.\n\n**Glossary:** **Active Directory (AD)**: Microsoft directory service for managing domain identities and resources. **Forward lookup**: Name-to-record resolution. **Reverse lookup**: Address-to-name resolution.
