Description

The Add-DnsServerResourceRecordA cmdlet adds a host address (A) record to a Domain Name System (DNS) zone. An A record specifies an IPv4 address.

Examples

Example 1: Add a DNS record

PS C:\> Add-DnsServerResourceRecordA -Name "host23" -ZoneName "contoso.com" -AllowUpdateAny -IPv4Address "172.18.99.23" -TimeToLive 01:00:00

This example adds a type A DNS record for a host named host23 in the zone named contoso.com. The command specifies AllowUpdateAny and provides a TTL value.

Parameters

-AgeRecord

Indicates that the DNS server uses a time stamp for the resource record that this cmdlet adds. A DNS server can scavenge resource records that have become stale based on a time stamp.

Type:SwitchParameter
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:True
Accept wildcard characters:False

-AllowUpdateAny

Indicates that any authenticated user can update a resource record that has the same owner name.

Type:SwitchParameter
Position:Named
Default value:False
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:True
Accept wildcard characters:False

-AsJob

ps_cimcommon_asjob

Type:SwitchParameter
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-CimSession

Runs the cmdlet in a remote session or on a remote computer. Enter a computer name or a session object, such as the output of a New-CimSessionhttp://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=227967 or Get-CimSessionhttp://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=227966 cmdlet. The default is the current session on the local computer.

Type:CimSession[]
Position:Named
Default value:None
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
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-Confirm

Prompts you for confirmation before running the cmdlet.

Type:SwitchParameter
Position:Named
Default value:False
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-CreatePtr

Indicates that the DNS server automatically creates an associated pointer (PTR) resource record for an A record. A PTR resource record maps an IP address to an FQDN.

Type:SwitchParameter
Position:Named
Default value:False
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:True
Accept wildcard characters:False

-IPv4Address

Specifies an array of IPv4 addresses.

Type:IPAddress[]
Position:4
Default value:None
Required:True
Accept pipeline input:True
Accept wildcard characters:False

-Name

Specifies a host name.

Type:String
Position:3
Default value:None
Required:True
Accept pipeline input:True
Accept wildcard characters:False

-PassThru

Returns an object representing the item with which you are working. By default, this cmdlet does not generate any output.

Type:SwitchParameter
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-ThrottleLimit

Specifies the maximum number of concurrent operations that can be established to run the cmdlet. If this parameter is omitted or a value of 0 is entered, then Windows PowerShell® calculates an optimum throttle limit for the cmdlet based on the number of CIM cmdlets that are running on the computer. The throttle limit applies only to the current cmdlet, not to the session or to the computer.

Type:Int32
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-TimeToLive

Specifies the Time to Live (TTL) value, in seconds, for a resource record. Other DNS servers use this length of time to determine how long to cache a record.

Type:TimeSpan
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:True
Accept wildcard characters:False

-WhatIf

Shows what would happen if the cmdlet runs. The cmdlet is not run.

Type:SwitchParameter
Position:Named
Default value:False
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-ZoneName

Specifies the name of a DNS zone.

Type:String
Position:2
Default value:None
Required:True
Accept pipeline input:True
Accept wildcard characters:False
