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.

    1. mark says:

      The right answer is B since the server does not have Active Directory (AD) domain services installed and thus is not a Domain controller (DC). The server must first become a DC and integrate the contoso.com zone into AD.

      Erik,
      just above the text you quoted it is also written:
      …Recommend that the GlobalNames zone be integrated with Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS). This integration with AD DS ensures easier management and future scalability.
      So the correct answer is B

    I agree that B is the correct answer. I just wish the answer was worded to include “promote Server1 to a DC and convert the contoso.com zone to an Active Directory-integrated zone”. To me since it makes no mention that the server is a DC, as it stands a member server you cannot convert DNS to AD integrated unless it is first a DC.

    Recommend, is not the same as required. You can skip the integration and create the GlobalNames zone first. It’s already established that the DNS Server server role is on Server1. Since AD DS is not necessary but recommended (a local file will do the same job), the first step is D

    IMO
