• Name Resolution (DNS): understanding how to manage and configure Domain Name System (DNS) server is a skill every server administrator or anyone wanting to become a server administrator should master. In your Real Practice-Lab you will have the ability to create and configure every aspect of DNS including creating / managing zone and records, replication and server settings.
