Your network contains two servers named Served and Server 2. Both servers run Windows Server
2012 R2 and have the DNS Server server role installed.
On Server1, you create a standard primary zone named contoso.com.
You plan to create a standard primary zone for ad.contoso.com on Server2.
You need to ensure that Server1 forwards all queries for ad.contoso.com to Server2.
What should you do from Server1?
A.
Create a trust anchor named Server2.
B.
Create a conditional forward that points to Server2.
C.
Add Server2 as a name server.
D.
Create a zone delegation that points to Server2.
Explanation:
You can divide your Domain Name System (DNS) namespace into one or more zones. You can
delegate management of part of your namespace to another location or department in your
organization by delegating the management of the corresponding zone. For more information, see
Understanding Zone Delegation.
Why not B – conditional forwarder?

Yeah I believe B is the correct answer, zone delegation is more for dividing up a larger zone. Here they created two zones and ask “ensure that Server1 forwards all queries for ad.contoso.com to Server2” This can be done by creating a conditional forwarder.

“Actually D is correct.
Because contoso.com already exists on server1, a conditional forwarder will not work as server1 has the ability to provide an authorative answer to things in the contoso.com domain. Forwarders only come into play when the zone is not hosted locally!!! In this case, delegation is neccessary to tell server 1 to ignore the requests for ad.contoso.com and pass them on to server2.”
Tested in lab. Confirmed D as correct answer.
