A new company registers the domain name of contoso.com. The company has a web
presence on the Internet. All Internet resources have names that use a DNS suffix of
contoso.com.
A third-party hosts the Internet resources and is responsible for managing the contoso.com
DNS zone on the Internet. The zone contains several hundred records.
The company plans to deploy an Active Directory forest.
You need to recommend an Active Directory forest infrastructure to meet the following
requirements:
Ensure that users on the internal network can resolve the names of the company’s Internet
resources.
Minimize the amount of administrative effort associated with the addition of new Internet
servers.
What should you recommend?
A.
A forest that contains a single domain named contoso.local
B.
A forest that contains a root domain named contoso.com and another domain named
contoso.local
C.
A forest that contains a root domain named contoso.com and another domain named
ad.contoso.com
D.
A forest that contains a single domain named contoso.com
Explanation:
The best practices solution according to https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/909264 would be a forest root domain with a name of “ad.contoso.com”, but this is not contemplated here; however, .local names (or other fictitious TLDs) are strongly discouraged.
Best practices
•If the organization has an Internet presence, use names that are relative to the registered Internet DNS domain name. For example, if you have registered the Internet DNS domain name contoso.com, use a DNS domain name such as corp.contoso.com for the intranet domain name.
