EXAM TIP
With the nearly 100 percent coverage of the Windows powerShell DNS cmdlets, you'd
expect that you could convert a file-based zone to an active Directory-integrated zone by
using the appropriate Set-DnsServer* cmdlet. But that option fails with a “not supported”
message. You should expect to see at least one question on the exam that revolves around
that limitation.
Zone delegation allows you to delegate the administration of a portion of your DNS
namespace, and to divide up a large zone into smaller subzones to distribute the load and
improve performance.
