Question
A server administrator is troubleshooting a hostname resolution issue and wants to query DNS information. Which of the following command-line tools should the server administrator use?
Options
- Anslookup
- Bipconfig

- Dping
Explanation
The server administrator should use the nslookup command-line tool to query DNS information and troubleshoot hostname resolution issues.
Common mistakes.
- B. The ipconfig command displays local TCP/IP network configuration details but does not query DNS servers for hostname resolution information.
- C. The nbstat command displays NetBIOS over TCP/IP statistics and is used for troubleshooting NetBIOS name resolution, which is different from DNS hostname resolution.
- D. The ping command tests connectivity to a host by sending ICMP echo requests and can implicitly test DNS resolution if a hostname is used, but it does not provide detailed DNS query information like nslookup.
