Question

SIMULATION An organization is planning for disaster recovery and continuity of operations. INSTRUCTIONS Review the following scenarios and instructions. Match each relevant finding to the affected host. After associating scenario 3 with the appropriate host(s), click the host to select the appropriate corrective action for that finding. Each finding may be used more than once. If at any time you would like to bring back the initial state of the simulation, please click the Reset All button. Answer:

Explanation

In disaster recovery and continuity of operations planning, DNS is foundational to domain authentication - if users cannot log into the domain, DNS resolution failure is the most likely culprit, as Active Directory relies on DNS to locate domain controllers and authentication services. Replicating DNS records to the disaster recovery site (Site B) ensures that when a failover occurs, clients can still resolve domain controller names and authenticate properly. This is a core DR principle: critical infrastructure services like DNS must be synchronized across primary and secondary sites to maintain continuity.
