5 Comments on “You need to ensure that Server1 can host a secondary copy of the contoso.com zone

      Actually, since the secondary is the Unix DNS server, the command wouldn’t work (maybe when PoSh on Linux has matured).

      So we use “Set-DnsServerPrimaryZone -SecondaryServers” to define a secondary Name Server (and probably the notify options to enable zone transfers).

      I have no idea if anything else needs to be changed besides that to support *nix DNS secondaries.

    Repeated question from 411.

    Answer is D. Here are the comment extracts from my previous study notes:

    Agree with nina…..first BIND needs to be enabled to work with Unix. Bind is disabled by default. Once Bind is enabled, you can make additional changes like Zone transfer, etc.
    Since they even give that step as an option, it is pretty clear they want you to activate Bind first.

    From

    1. DC1 has DEFAULT DNS server settings and is DNS for contoso zone which is AD Integrated
    2. Server1 is UNIX (ie BIND) and will be a secondary for contoso
    3. You MUST ENSURE that server1 can be a secondary for contoso

    Without configuring the advanced DNS properties of server DC1 to “Enable BIND Secondaries” (Not configured by default – see point 1) even if you “Allow Zone Transfer” the transfer will not take place as you have NOT ENSURED that server1 can be a secondary.
