MSCA 70-291 Windows Server 2003 Exam Prep

Answer - B - You should visit the Monitoring tab on the DNS server Properties dialog box to test the basic DNS functionality.

Key Takeaway: The Monitoring tab allows you to test basic DNS functionality with two simple tests. The first test performs a simple query to the local DNS server. The server must be able to answer, forward, and reverse queries targeted toward it. The second test is a recursive query to the root DNS servers. For this to happen, the DNS server computer must be able to connect to the root servers specified on the Root Hints tab. These tests can also be conducted at regular intervals. The results of the tests are shown in the Test Results area of the tab.
