What Are The Ways To Configure DNS & Zones?

What Are The Types

Of Backup? Explain Each. What Are FMSO Roles? List Them

Domain Name System is the full form of the abbreviation DNS. It can be configured by
clicking the Start button, pointing to the Programs, pointing to Administrative Tools and
clicking DNS Manager (which has two zones, namely the Forward Lookup Zone and the
Reverse Lookup Zone). When the DNS Server Configuration Wizard starts, click Next. If
it does not auto-start, it can be started by right-clicking the user's server name object in
the DNS Manager console and choosing the Configure Your Server option.

The next step is to choose to add a forward lookup zone, click Next and ensure whether
the new forward lookup zone is a primary zone or not. It can only accept dynamic
updates if it is a primary zone. Click Primary, and then click Next. It must be ensured that
the zone name must either be the same as the user's Active Directory Domain name or the
same as the suffix for all the computers on the network which are to be registered with
the DNS server (in case of a stand-alone or workgroup environment). Type the name of
the zone and then click Next. The default name is accepted for the new zone file. Then
click Next. Choose to add a reverse lookup zone now and click Next.

Click Primary and then click Next. Type the name of the zone and then click Next. The
zone name should be the same as the Network ID of your local subnet. Accept the default
name for the new zone file and click Next. Then click Finish to complete the Server
Configuration Wizard.

There are three types of backup. They are full backup, incremental backup and
differential backup. Full backup is defined as a complete set of all the files which the user
wishes to back up. It is considered to be the reference set for the user. A full backup is
performed only occasionally. An incremental backup is a backup of all those files which
have changed since the last time any time of backup was performed. A differential
backup is a backup of those files which have changed since the last time a full backup
was performed. It should be performed at regular intervals.

FSMO is the acronym for the term flexible single master operation, which is also called
floating single master operation .There are two main types of FSMO roles, namely forest-
wide FSMO roles and domain-wide FSMO roles. Forest-wide FSMO roles include
Schema Master and Domain Naming Master. Domain-wide FSMO roles include Relative
ID Master, Infrastructure Master and PDC Emulator.
There are quiet a few online web-sites which illustrate on how to configure DNS zone. A
DNS zone basically is a section of the global DNS namespace. This namespace is
illustrated by the DNS protocol and is spread out in the form of a tree ranging from right
to left, such that the distribution of the namespace is carried out by pretending a sequence
of characters followed by phase, to upper namespace. The association among domain
names and DNS zone is that every period denotes a break in DNS namespace where
ability "can" be allotted.

This delegation could be routine or technical or both. In reference to the present global
domain system, root domain is administered by a cluster of 13 root servers, and
delegation is passed on to organization which administers top level domains.
