A corporate network includes a single Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) domain.
The domain contains 10 domain controllers. The domain controllers run Windows Server
2008 R2 and are configured as DNS servers.
You plan to create an Active Directory-integrated zone.
You need to ensure that the new zone is replicated to only four of the domain controllers.
What should you do first?
A.
Use the ntdsutil tool to modify the DS behavior for the domain.
B.
Use the ntdsutil tool to add a naming context.
C.
Create a new delegation in the ForestDnsZones application directory partition.
D.
Use the dnscmd tool with the /zoneadd parameter.

Store Data in an AD DS Application Partition
You can store Domain Name System (DNS) zones in the domain or application directory
partitions of Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS). An application directory partition is a
data structure in AD DS that distinguishes data for different replication purposes. When you
store a DNS zone in an application directory partition, you can control the zone replication
scope by controlling the replication scope of the application directory partition.

Partition management
Manages directory partitions for Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) or Active
Directory Lightweight Directory Services (AD LDS).
This is a subcommand of Ntdsutil and Dsmgmt.Examples
To create an application directory partition named AppPartition in the contoso.com domain,
complete the following steps:
1. To open an elevated Command Prompt window, click Start, point to All Programs, click
Accessories, rightclick
Command Prompt, and then click Run as administrator.
2. Type: ntdsutil
3. Type: Ac in ntds
4. Type: partition management
5. Type: connections
6. Type: Connect to server DC_Name
7. Type: quit
8. Type: list
The following partitions will be listed:
0 CN=Configuration,DC=Contoso,DC=com
1 DC=Contoso,DC=com
2 CN=Schema,CN=Configuration,DC=Contoso,DC=com
3 DC=DomainDnsZones,DC=Contoso,DC=com
4 DC=ForestDnsZones,DC=Contoso,DC=com
9. At the partition management prompt, type: create nc dc=AppPartition,dc=contoso,dc=com
ConDc1.contoso.com
10. Run the list command again to refresh the list of partitions.
