You need to ensure that client computers can resolve single-label names to IP addresses

Your network contains multiple subnets.
On one of the subnets, you deploy a server named Server1 that runs Windows Server 2012 R2.
You install the DNS Server server role on Server1, and then you create a standard primary zone
named contoso.com.
You need to ensure that client computers can resolve single-label names to IP addresses.
What should you do first?

A.
Create a reverse lookup zone.

B.
Convert the contoso.com zone to an Active Directory-integrated zone.

C.
Configure dynamic updates for contoso.com.

D.
Create a GlobalNames zone.

Explanation:
Although a GlobalNames zone is required in order to resolve single-label names, GNZs must be ADintegrated.
Since this is a standard primary zone (as opposed to an ADDS primary zone), we must first integrate
the zone into Active Directory.

    I found this answer somewhere else

    D. use GlobalNames zones in Windows Server 2008 to take advantage of single-label names Providing Single-Label DNS Name Resolution:
    While Domain Name System (DNS) is the predominant name-resolution technology in TCP/IP networks, Windows Internet Name Service (WINS) is deployed in many networks as an alternative name-resolution protocol.
    GlobalNames Zone (GNZ) feature: The GNZ feature is designed to enable DNS resolution of these single-label, static, global names. You can deploy a GNZ in a single forest or across multiple forests.
    GNZ is intended to aid the retirement of WINS. It is not a replacement for WINS. GNZ is not intended to support the single-label name resolution of records that are registered dynamically and therefore not managed by IT administrators. GNZ does make it possible for you to provide single-label name resolution of a fixed set of host computers whose names are guaranteed to be both global and unique.

    READ THE QUESTION!!!

    What should you do first?

    Step 1: Create the GlobalNames zone

    The first step in deploying a GlobalNames zone is to create the zone on a DNS server that is a domain controller running Windows Server 2008. The GlobalNames zone is not a special zone type; rather, it is simply an AD DS-integrated forward lookup zone that is called GlobalNames. For information about creating a primary forward lookup zone, see Add a Forward Lookup Zone.

    B is correct.

    1. TDAC says:

      I agree with Special K. Yes the overall solution for single-label name resolution is to create a GlobalName zone. BUT, the FIRST STEP is the zone must be Active Directory Integrated.

      If you go straight to answer D and “Create a GlobalName zone” – as part of the wizard you can make the zone Active Directory Integrated, HOWEVER – you are then creating a BRAND NEW ZONE. Nowhere does the question ask you to create a new zone. It implies you need to use the existing CONSTOSO.COM zone – in which case the zone must be AD integrated first.

      Special K is correct. Answer is B.
