You can use DNS Manager to review basic key rollover status. However, Windows PowerShell provides additional settings for review.

Membership in the Administrators group, or equivalent, is the minimum required to complete these procedures. Review details about using the appropriate accounts and group memberships at Local and Domain Default Groups (https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=83477).

To review key rollover status in DNS Manager

  1. Open DNS Manager on a primary, authoritative DNS server, or connect to a primary, authoritative DNS server with DNS Manager.

  2. Right-click a DNSSEC-signed zone, point to DNSSEC, and then click Properties.

  3. To review KSK status, click the KSK tab, click a signing key under Key signing keys (KSKs), and then review information under Rollover status.

  4. To review ZSK settings, click the ZSK tab, click a signing key under Zone signing keys (ZSKs), and then review information under Rollover status.

  5. Click Cancel when you have finished.
