Microsoft Networking with Windows Server 2016, Part 4 of 9: DNS

LearnNow Online
Updated Aug 23, 2018

Course description

This course begins with the basics of name resolution. Each system on the network has to have a valid IP address. Instead of remembering www.google.com you'd have to remember the IP address, which is why name resolution is important for humans to more easily remember user friendly names. Finally DNS will be covered.

Each LearnNowOnline training course is made up of Modules (typically an hour in length). Within each module there are Topics (typically 15-30 minutes each) and Subtopics (typically 2-5 minutes each). There is a Post Exam for each Module that must be passed with a score of 70% or higher to successfully and fully complete the course.
