24. You Learned • The Domain Name System (DNS) provides the default name resolution mechanism for Active Directory, the Internet, and the majority of modern TCP/IP networks. • Windows operating systems prior to Windows 2000 used NetBIOS names to identify the computers on the network. Lesson 12

25. You Learned (cont.) • The resource record is the fundamental data storage unit in all DNS servers. • The DNS Server service in Windows Server 2008 supports both standard and Active Directory–integrated DNS zones. • DNS root name servers are the highest-level DNS servers in the entire namespace. Lesson 12

26. You Learned (cont.) • You can divide a DNS namespace into zones to store them on different servers and to delegate their administration to different people. • Windows Server 2008 supports primary zones, secondary zones, and stub zones. Primary and stub zones can be integrated into Active Directory. Lesson 12

27. You Learned (cont.) • You can use DHCP to streamline the process of assigning DNS servers to your clients to use for name resolution. • Active Directory Rights Management Service (AD RMS) is a Windows Server 2008 service that you can use to protect sensitive data on a Windows network. Lesson 12

28. You Learned (cont.) • The Active Directory Federation Services (AD FS) role allows administrators to configure Single Sign-On (SSO) for Web-based applications across multiple organizations. Lesson 12
