When troubleshooting client DNS issues, which two tasks must you perform? (Choose two)

The correct answer is B. Ping the DNS Server. E. Determine whether the name servers have been configured. In order for DNS to work you have to have a name server configured (either statically or dynamically) and you must be able to reach it (which, presumably, could be verified via ping).
