the authoritative DNS zone cannot beconfigured to allow dynamic updates, then modification isrequired to your existing DNS

infrastructure. 39. How do you manually create SRV records in DNS? this is on windows servergo to run ---> dnsmgmt.mscrightclick on the zone you want to add srv record to andchoose "other new record"and choose service location(srv)..... 40. Name 3 benefits of using AD-integrated zones. 1. you can give easy name resolution to ur clients.2. By creating ADintegrated zone you can also tracehackerand spammer by creating reverse zone.3. AD integrated zoned all for incremental zone transferswhich on transfer changes and not the entire zone. Thisreduces zone transfer traffic.4. AD Integrated zones suport both secure and dmanicupdates.5. AD integrated zones are stored as part of the activedirectory and support domain-wide or forest-widereplicationthrough application pertitions in AD. 41. What are the benefits of using Windows 2003 DNS whenusing ADintegrated zones? Advantages:DNS supports Dynamic registration of SRV recordsregisteredby a Active Directory server or a domain controllerduring promotion. With the help of SRV records client machinescanfind domain controllers in the network.1. DNS supports Secure Dynamic updates. Unauthorizedaccessis denied.2. Exchange server needs internal DNS or AD DNS to locateGlobal Catalog servers.3. Active Directory Integrated Zone. If you have morethanone domain controller (recommended) you need not worryaboutzone replication. Active Directory replication will takecare of DNS zone replication also.4. If your network use DHCP with Active Directory then noother DHCP will be able to service client requests comingfrom different network. It is because DHCP server isauthorized in AD and will be the only server toparticipateon network to provide IP Address information to clientmachines.5. Moreover, you can use NT4 DNS with Service Pack 4 orlater. It supports both SRV record registration andDynamicUpdates.Using Microsoft DNS gives the following benefits:If you implement networks that require secure updates.If you want to take benefit of Active Directoryreplication.If you want to integrate DHCP with DNS for Low-levelclientsto register their Host records in Zone database. 42. You installed a new AD domain and the new (and first)DC

has not registered its SRV records in DNS. Name a fewpossible causes.The machine cannot be configured with DNS client her ownThe DNS service cannot be run 43. What are the benefits and scenarios of using Stubzones? One of the new features introduced in the Windows Server2003-based implementation of DNS are stub zones. Its mainpurpose is to provide name resolution in domains, forwhicha local DNS server is not authoritative. The stub zonecontains only a few records: - Start of Authority (SOA)record pointing to a remote DNS server that is consideredtobe the best source of information about the target DNSdomain, - one or more Name Server (NS) records (includingthe entry associated with the SOA record), which areauthoritative for the DNS domain represented by the stubzone, corresponding A records for each of the NSentries(providing IP addresses of the servers). While you canalsoprovide name resolution for a remote domain by eithercreating a secondary zone (which was a common approach inWindows Server 2000 DNS implementation) or delegation(whendealing with a contiguous namespace), such approachforcesperiodic zone transfers, which are not needed when stubzones are used. Necessity to traverse network in order toobtain individual records hosted on the remote NameServersis mitigated to some extent by caching process, whichkeepsthem on the local server for the duration of theirTime-to-Live (TTL) parameter. In addition, recordsresiding in a stub zone are periodically validated and refreshedinorder to avoid lame delegations. 44. What are the benefits and scenarios of usingConditional Forwarding? Conditional forwarding is a new feature of DNS in Windows Server2003 that can be used to speed up name resolution in certainscenarios. They can also be used to help companies resolve eachother's namespace in a situation where companies collaborate amerger is underway. This article will look in detail at howconditional forwarding works, how to configure it, and when youmight use it. But first, let's briefly review the concepts offorwarding and forwarders in traditional DNS, starting withdifferent types of name queries. 45. What are the differences between Windows Clustering, Network Load Balancing and Round Robin, and scenarios foreach use? I will make a few assumptions here: 1) By "WindowsClustering Network Load Balancing" you mean WindowsNetworkLoad Balancing software included in Windows Serversoftwarea.k.a NLB., and 2) By Round Robin, you mean DNS RoundRobinmeaning the absence of a software or

hardware loadbalancingdevice, or the concept of the Round Robin algorithmavailable in just about every load balancing solution.Microsoft NLB is designed for a small number (4 - 6) ofWindows Servers and a low to moderate number of newconnections per second, to provide distribution of webserver requests to multiple servers in a virtual resourcepool. Some would call this a "cluster", but there aresuttledifferences between a clustered group of devices and amoreloosely configured virtual pool. From the standpoint ofscalability and performance, almost all hardware loadbalancing solutions are superior to this and other less known software load balancing solutions [e.g. BrightTigercirca 1998].DNS Round Robin is an inherent load balancing methodbuiltinto DNS. When you resolve an IP address that has morethanone A record, DNS hands out different resolutions todifferent requesting local DNS servers. Although thereareseveral factors effecting the exact resulting algorithm(e.g. DNS caching, TTL, multiple DNS servers[authoritativeor cached]), I stress the term "roughly" when I say itroughly results in an even distribution of resolutions toeach of the addresses specified for a particular URL. Itdoes not however, consider availability, performance, oranyother metric and is completely static. The basic RRalgorithm is available in many software and hardware loadbalancing solutions and simply hands the next request tothenext resource and starts back at the first resource whenithits the last one.NLB is based on proprietary software, meant for smallgroupsof Windows servers only on private networks, and isdynamicin nature (takes into account availability of a server,andin some cases performance). "Round Robin", DNS orotherwise,is more generic, static in nature (does not take intoaccount anything but the resource is a member of theresource pool and each member is equal), and ranges fromDNSto the default static load balancing method on everyhardware device in the market. 46. How do I work with the Host name cache on a clientcomputer? A host name is an alias assigned to identify a TCP/IP host orits interfaces. Host names are used in all TCP/IP environments.The following describes the attributes of a host name: y The host name does not have to match the NetBIOS computername, and a host name can contain as many as 255characters. y Multiple host names can be assigned to the same host.

y Host names are easier to remember than IP addresses. y A user can specify host name instead of an IP address whenusing Windows Sockets applications, such as the Ping toolor Internet Explorer. y A host name should correspond to an IP address mapping thatis stored either in the local Hosts file or in a databaseon a DNS server. TCP/IP for Windows XP and WindowsServer 2003 also use NetBIOS name resolution methods forhost names. y The Hostname tool displays the computer name of yourWindowsbased computer, as configured from the Computer Name tab of the System item of Control Panel. 47. How do I clear the DNS cache on the DNS server?To clear the server names cache* Using the Windows interface* Using a command lineUsing the Windows interface1. Open DNS.2.
