Which statement is true about DNS in an Active Directory Domain?

In an Active Directory Domain, it is essential for all domain members to query the domain controllers for DNS names. Active Directory relies heavily on DNS for its functionality, especially for locating domain controllers and other resources within the network. When a Windows client attempts to connect to a service or resource within an Active Directory Domain, it uses DNS queries to locate the appropriate domain controller or service. This dependency ensures that domain members can authenticate and access resources correctly.

The structure and management of DNS in Active Directory enhance the overall domain functionality, making it critical for domain members to interact with DNS through the domain controllers. Hence, the statement that all domain members must query the domain controllers for DNS names accurately reflects this fundamental aspect of how Active Directory and DNS are integrated.

The other statements do not correctly represent the details of DNS within an Active Directory environment. For instance, secondary DNS servers can indeed be utilized to enhance redundancy even in an Active Directory setup. Furthermore, while WINS might still be in use in some legacy scenarios, DNS is the preferred method for name resolution in Active Directory domains, making the idea that DNS resolution is unnecessary if a WINS server is reachable inaccurate. Lastly, A (Address) and AAAA (IPv6 Address) records are not the only important
