Exam N10-008 topic 1 question 402 discussion

The record that can be used to track the number of changes on a DNS zone is: A. SOA (Start of Authority) The Start of Authority (SOA) record in a DNS zone contains administrative information about the zone, including the primary authoritative DNS server for the zone and various timers. The serial number within the SOA record is typically used to track changes. When changes are made to the zone, the serial number is incremented, signaling to secondary DNS servers that they need to update their copies of the zone. Monitoring the serial number changes allows administrators to track modifications to the DNS zone.

In Enterprise & Education variants of Windows, you can use Server Manager to view in-depth nameserver context, this can allow you to audit & view server event properties through a name server to see the full changes in depth. You can also type nslookup -q=soa [desired server name] to keep track of how often these changes are made. The more I've looked into this one, the more NS has seemed correct.

SOA has the serial Id
