If DNS Logging is enabled, which Windows tool would you use to view the logs?

• A. Task Manager
• B. Event Viewer
• C. Notepad
• D. Resource Monitor

Answer: (B)

DNS logging writes events into the Windows Event Log, so the best place to review those records is Event Viewer. Open Event Viewer and look under the DNS Server log (found under Applications and Services Logs). There you can filter by the DNS Server source to see relevant entries about queries, responses, errors, and zone transfers, and you can correlate them with other system events. If you were using a textual DNS Debug Log instead, you’d view that with a text editor, but for standard DNS logging, Event Viewer is the centralized, correct tool.
