True or False: A Primary Zone that is Active Directory-integrated will be replicated to all other DNS servers.

True or False: A Primary Zone that is Active Directory-integrated will be replicated to all other DNS servers.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Not Applicable
• D. Cannot Be Determined

Answer: (B)

Active Directory–integrated DNS zones store their data in AD and rely on AD replication to stay in sync. This means the zone isn’t automatically pushed to every DNS server in the environment. Only domain controllers that host the zone will receive updates, and they do so according to the zone’s replication scope (for example, within the domain or across the forest). A DNS server that isn’t a DC hosting the zone won’t get a copy unless it’s configured to participate in AD replication for that zone or you set up a separate secondary mechanism. So the statement is false: replication is controlled by AD topology, not by pushing the zone to all DNS servers by default.
