Lab Scenario
Your manager has asked you to configure
the domain controller in the branch office as
a DNS server.
You have also been asked to create some
new host records to support a new app that
is being installed.
Finally, you need to configure forwarding on
the DNS server in the branch office to
support Internet name resolution.
Lab Review
Can you install the DNS server role on a
server that is not a domain controller? If yes,
are there any limitations?
What is the most common way to carry out
Internet name resolution on a local DNS?
How can you browse the content of the DNS
