|Exercise 2.1 |Designing a DNS Namespace |
|Overview |You have been tasked with creating a test DNS namespace structure for your organization. Your first |
| |task is to design that namespace by specifying appropriate domain and host names for the computers in|
| |the division. |
|Completion time |15 minutes |

2. In the diagram provided in Figure 2-1, write both the domain names and the fully qualified domain names that you have selected for the computers in the appropriate spaces.

|Exercise 2.2 |Creating a Zone |
|Overview |You will now configure the DNS Server Role you installed in lab 1.4 by creating zones. A zone is the |
| |administrative division that DNS servers use to administer domains. The first step in implementing |
| |the DNS namespace that you designed is to create a zone representing your root domain. |
