Lesson 12
You Learned

The Domain Name System (DNS) provides the
default name resolution mechanism for Active
Directory, the Internet, and the majority of
modern TCP/IP networks.

Windows operating systems prior to Windows
2000 used NetBIOS names to identify the
computers on the network.
Lesson 12
You Learned (cont.)

The resource record is the fundamental data
storage unit in all DNS servers.

The DNS Server service in Windows Server
2008 supports both standard and Active
Directory–integrated DNS zones.

DNS root name servers are the highest-level
DNS servers in the entire namespace.
Lesson 12
You Learned (cont.)
 You can divide a DNS namespace into zones to
store them on different servers and to delegate
their administration to different people.
 Windows Server 2008 supports primary zones,
secondary zones, and stub zones. Primary and
stub zones can be integrated into Active
Directory.
Lesson 12
You Learned (cont.)
 You can use DHCP to streamline the process of
assigning DNS servers to your clients to use for
name resolution.
 Active Directory Rights Management Service
(AD RMS) is a Windows Server 2008 service
that you can use to protect sensitive data on a
Windows network.
Lesson 12
You Learned (cont.)
 The Active Directory Federation Services (AD
FS) role allows administrators to configure
Single Sign-On (SSO) for Web-based
applications across multiple organizations.
