Your network contains an Active Directory forest. The forest contains two domains named
contoso.com and fabrikam.com. All of the DNS servers in both of the domains run Windows
Server 2012 R2.
The network contains two servers named Server1 and Server2. Server1 hosts an Active
Directory-integrated zone for contoso.com. Server2 hosts an Active Directory-integrated
zone for fabrikam.com. Server1 and Server2 connect to each other by using a WAN link.
Client computers that connect to Server1 for name resolution cannot resolve names in
fabnkam.com.
You need to configure Server1 to support the resolution of names in fabnkam.com. The
solution must ensure that users in contoso.com can resolve names in fabrikam.com if the
WAN link fails.
What should you do on Server1?
A.
Create a stub zone.
B.
Add a forwarder.
C.
Create a secondary zone.
D.
Create a conditional forwarder.
Explanation:
http: //technet. microsoft. com/en-us/library/cc771898. aspx
When a zone that this DNS server hosts is a secondary zone, this DNS server is a
secondary source for information about this zone. The zone at this server must be obtained
from another remote DNS server computer that also hosts the zone
With secondary, you have ability to resolve records from the other domain even if its DNS
servers are temporarily unavailable
While secondary zones contain copies of all the resource records in the corresponding zone
on the master name server, stub zones contain only three kinds of resource records:
A copy of the SOA record for the zone.
Copies of NS records for all name servers authoritative for the zone.
Copies of A records for all name servers authoritative for the zone.

the correct answer is A. without changing any zone is farikam.com… u’ll need to create a stub zone…. if there is any other idea… maybe u fill us in
A stub zone only includes the SOA,Name Servers, and glue records for the zone. If you’re looking for anything, a query will still need to be performed. If the link fails, no query can be made. Of course, if the link fails, you probably can’t reach who you want to anyways, but that’s besides the point.
A secondary zone is a full, read only copy of the primary zone and no further queries should need to be made.
So true, provided answer is correct.
If the link fails, Server1 would have to resolve the names from its own database. There is no alternative other than to have a secondary zone copy. Stub zones and conditional forwarders point to the other servers, they can’t magically get the data if the link fails
true.
answer is Stub zone , read about it you will understand
Answer is not a stub zone. As sysadmin pointed out.
byzantine: I think you shoud read about it first. With understatning 🙂

Stub zone stores only SOA and NS resource records for the zone. It does not store any host records.
In this scenerio you need to design a solution that allow resolving DNS names of the foreign domain when WAN link fails. With STUB zone you will not achive the goal.
The only option to achive the goal is to make secondary zone and configure zone transfers.
The explenation under the question is right.
Agreed.
If the WAN link fails, the only way to do DNS lookups is to rely on the DNS records for fabrikam that are stored in the secondary zone on Server1.
A stub zone, forwarder, and conditional forwarder are basically all pointers to the DNS server on Server2, which is located across the WAN link. If the WAN link fails, you’re pointing to nowhere.
hahahahah thanks . sorry for my comm
The only option here that will work is to create Secondary zone so the answer is C
This question is stupid
None of the answers are correct
to create a secondary zone you first need a PRIMARY ZONE
both Fabrikam and Contoso are AD integrated
or did I miss something
You did miss something… Both servers hold primary zones for their respective domains.
as it says “Server1 hosts an AD-integrated zone” (which is a primary zone).
From there you can create secondary zones that replicate to other servers on different domains and configure zone transfers.
What I want to know is if this is the only zone available to resolve names in Frabrikam and the WAN link goes down:
What the fuck does it matter? You can see the URL but guess what happens when you attempt to actually resolve to the IP Address?
It’s these thumbs up your ass questions I can’t stand from MS.
Can someone think of a scenario where a Stub Zone is useful then?
Ill do my best here…
Use a stub zone where you need to configure a server to resolve names in another domain.
But you want to prevent the need to change the configuration of the current name servers that host zones for that domain. It’s an effortless scenario… if you want to set it and forget it kind of thing, use a Stub zone.
