You are the systems administrator for your company. The company’s network consists of a single Active Directory domain named nutex.com. The network contains a Windows Small Business Server (SBS) 2003. The network also contains a Domain Name System (DNS) server named DNS1 that runs Windows Server 2003. DNS1 is part of the existing domain.
You are migrating from Windows SBS 2003 to Windows Essential Business Server (EBS) 2008. You installed Windows EBS 2008 on the network. Now you want to prepare the DNS1 for the migration.
Which account should you use to log on to DNS1?
A.
an account that is a member of the local Administrators group on DNS1
B.
an account that is a member of the Domain Admins group in the nutex.com domain
C.
an account that is a member of the Enterprise Admins group in the nutex.com domain
D.
an account that is a member of the Schema Admins group in the nutex.com domain
Explanation:
You should use an account that is a member of the Domain Admins group in the nutex.com domain. When you install Windows EBS 2008, you can configure Windows EBS to join a new or existing Active Directory domain. When you configure Windows EBS to join a new domain, the DNS Server service is installed on the Management Server and the Messaging Server. Both of these servers are configured as primary servers for the new domain with an Active Directory-integrated zone. When you configure Windows EBS to join an existing domain, the Installation Wizard detects whether the DNS zone for the specified domain is an Active Directory-integrated zone or a stand-alone zone. If the DNS zone is not integrated with Active Directory, the DNS Server service is not installed on the Management Server and the Messaging Server. In this case, you should manually prepare the DNS Server services for migration. To do this, you should perform the following steps:1. Log on to the existing DNS server by using a domain administrator account if the server is joined to the domain. If the DNS server is not joined to the domain, log on to the server as local administrator.
2. Open the DNS snap-in by going to Start > Administrative Tools > DNS.
3. In the left pane, expand the Forward Lookup Zones node, right-click the domain to which you joined Windows EBS, and then click the Properties option.
4. Click the Start of Authority (SOA) tab and verify that the value in the Primary server field matches the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the primary DNS server that you are using now.
5. If you see a different server name in this field, the DNS server you are using is not the primary DNS server for this zone. You must perform these steps on the primary DNS server, which is the server specified in this field.
6. Click the Zone Transfers tab, and verify that the Allow zone transfers check box and the Only to servers listed on the Name Servers tab option is selected.
7. Click the Name Servers tab, and then click the Add button.
8. In the Server fully qualified domain name field of the New resource record dialog box, type the FQDN of the Management Server. Then click the Resolve button.
9. Click the OK button to close the Properties dialog box.You should not use an account that is a member of the local Administrators group on DNS1 because the local administrator account should be used when the DNS server is not joined to a domain. When the DNS server is joined to the domain, an account that is a member of the Domain Admins group should be used.
You should not use an account that is a member of the Enterprise Admins group or the Schema Admins group in the nutex.com domain. To prepare the DNS server for migration, you should log on to the existing DNS server by using a domain administrator account if the server is joined to the domain. If the DNS server is not joined to the domain, log on to the server as local administrator.
