[-WhatIf] Description
The Set-DnsServerPrimaryZone cmdlet changes settings for an existing Domain Name System (DNS) primary zone. You can change values that are relevant for either Active Directory-integrated zones or file-backed zones.
Examples
Example 1: Change the dynamic update setting
PS C:\> Set-DnsServerPrimaryZone -Name "western.contoso.com" -DynamicUpdate "NonsecureAndSecure" -PassThru
ZoneName ZoneType IsAutoCreated IsDsIntegrated IsReverseLookupZone IsSigned
-------- -------- ------------- -------------- ------------------- --------
western.contoso.com Primary False True False FalseThis command changes the dynamic update setting to NonsecureAndSecure for the zone named western.contoso.com. The example uses the PassThru parameter to return output.
Example 2: Change the replication scope
PS C:\>Set-DnsServerPrimaryZone -Name "western.contoso.com" -ReplicationScope "Forest" -PassThru
ZoneName ZoneType IsAutoCreated IsDsIntegrated IsReverseLookupZone IsSigned
-------- -------- ------------- -------------- ------------------- --------
western.contoso.com Primary False True False FalseThis command changes the replication scope of the zone named western.contoso.com. The example uses the PassThru parameter to return output.
Example 3: Change the path name for the zone filename
PS C:\>Set-DnsServerPrimaryZone -Name "western.contoso.com" -ZoneFile "tet23.dns" -PassThru
ZoneName ZoneType IsAutoCreated IsDsIntegrated IsReverseLookupZone IsSigned
-------- -------- ------------- -------------- ------------------- --------
western.contoso.com Primary False False False FalseThis command changes the file name for the zone file for the zone western.contoso.com. The example uses the PassThru parameter to return output.

| Required: | False |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-ComputerName
Specifies a DNS server. If you do not specify this parameter, the command runs on the local system. You can specify an IP address or any value that resolves to an IP address, such as a fully qualified domain name (FQDN), host name, or NETBIOS name.
| Type: | String |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |

Specifies a directory partition on which to store the zone. Use this parameter when the ReplicationScope parameter has a value of Custom.
| Type: | String |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | False |
| Accept pipeline input: | True |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-DynamicUpdate
Specifies how a zone accepts dynamic updates. Servers that accept dynamic updates can receive client registration requests. The acceptable values for this parameter are:
- None
- Secure
- NonsecureAndSecure
DNS update security is available only for Active Directory-integrated zones.
| Type: | String |

Specifies how a DNS master server notifies secondary servers of changes to resource records. The acceptable values for this parameter are:
- NoNotify. The zone does not send change notifications to secondary servers.
- Notify. The zone sends change notifications to all secondary servers.

| Type: | String |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | False |
| Accept pipeline input: | True |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-NotifyServers
Specifies an array of IP addresses of secondary DNS servers that the DNS master server notifies of changes to resource records. You need this parameter only if you selected the value NotifyServers for the Notify parameter.
| Type: | IPAddress[] |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | False |

-ThrottleLimit
Specifies the maximum number of concurrent operations that can be established to run the cmdlet.
