Exam N10-008 topic 1 question 176 discussion

SOA The DNS ‘start of authority’ (SOA) record stores important information about a domain or zone such as the email address of the administrator, when the domain was last updated, and how long the server should wait between refreshes. All DNS zones need an SOA record in order to conform to IETF standards. SOA records are also important for zone transfers.

SOA tracks zone changes by a serial number which increments when changes happen. NS does contain the Time To Live settings for entries but that doesn't track how many changes have happened just how long to keep information.

NS records dont keep track and record changes

The record that can be used to track the number of changes on a DNS zone is: A. SOA (Start of Authority) record The SOA record in a DNS zone includes a serial number that is typically incremented each time the zone is updated or changed. By monitoring the changes in the serial number, you can track the number of updates or modifications made to the DNS zone. CHatGBT

voting because screw mehsotopes. You can bet if he votes another answer it is guaranteed wrong

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.

NS records tell another DNS server which server(s) can be contacted to obtain records pertaining the domain which will lead you to the SOA. Closest thing I got, but kind of a nightmare to come to this conclusion when you can find the record mentioned by going to command prompt & typing nslookup -type=soa [desired domain name].

NS is the correct answer cuz it help monitor records

you can google the question its SOA

GPT picks (A): "The record that can be used to track the number of changes on a DNS zone is (A) SOA (Start of Authority) record. The SOA record in a DNS zone contains information about the zone, including the primary authoritative name server for the zone and various timing parameters, such as the serial number. The serial number in the SOA record is typically incremented each time the zone is updated or changes are made, making it a useful way to track the number of changes that have occurred in the DNS zone."

Only answer that makes sense is SOA

A. SOA (Start of Authority)
