Windows 2016 Server and DNS Zone Delegation

In this lecture, we will demonstrate the use of DNS delegation in a Windows 2016 server environment.

You have just been hired by a company in the U.S. to evaluate and fix the network issues of a multinational marketing company called Global Marketing.** **
