Your network contains an Active Directory domain named contoso.com.
The domain contains a main office and a branch office.
An Active Directory site exists for each office.
All domain controllers run Windows Server 2012 R2.
The domain contains two domain controllers.
The domain controllers are configured as shown in the following table.
DC1 hosts an Active Directory-integrated zone for contoso.com.
You add the DNS Server server role to DC2.
You discover that the contoso.com DNS zone fails to replicate to DC2.
You verify that the domain, schema, and configuration naming contexts replicate from DC1 to DC2.
You need to ensure that DC2 replicates the contoso.com zone by using Active Directory replication.
Which tool should you use?
A.
Dnslint
B.
A DNS Manager
C.
Active Directory Users and Computers
D.
Dnscmd
Explanation:
Note: If you see question about AD Replication, First preference is AD sites andservices, then Repadminand
then DNSLINT.
Wrong answer.
Dnslint is deprecated and not even available on my 2012 R2 servers. I also read that it is a diagnostics tool and can only produce reports, thus it cannot be used to resolve this problem. Out of the provided tools, only dnscmd makes sense. The link below goes on to list how to use dnscmd or ntdsutil to replicate DNS zone through AD replication when you are attempting to replicate to an RODC.
Also, the order is always AD Sites and Services > Repadmin > ntdsutil > dnscmd
