QuestionQ15

Server administration

An administrator can log on to a server only by using a local account. The server has successfully joined the domain and can ping other servers using IP addresses.

Which locally defined setting is MOST likely configured incorrectly?

Explanation

Active Directory domain authentication relies on DNS to locate domain controllers. IP-address ping confirms basic IP connectivity, but it does not verify DNS name resolution or discovery of the domain controller’s DNS SRV records. Incorrect local DNS settings can therefore prevent domain-account logon even though the server is joined to the domain and can reach other servers by IP address.
