Add-DnsServerResourceRecordA

Add-DnsServerResourceRecordA

Adds a type A resource record to a DNS zone.

Syntax

Parameter Set: Add0
Add-DnsServerResourceRecordA [-ZoneName] <String> [-Name] <String> [-IPv4Address] <IPAddress[]> [-AgeRecord] [-AllowUpdateAny] [-AsJob] [-CimSession <CimSession[]> ] [-ComputerName <String> ] [-CreatePtr] [-PassThru] [-ThrottleLimit <Int32> ] [-TimeToLive <TimeSpan> ] [-Confirm] [-WhatIf] [ <CommonParameters>]

Detailed 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.

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.

-AllowUpdateAny

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

-AsJob

-CimSession<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-CimSession or Get-CimSession cmdlet. The default is the current session on the local computer.

-ComputerName<String>

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.

-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.

-IPv4Address<IPAddress[]>

Specifies an array of IPv4 addresses.

-Name<String>

Specifies a host name.

-PassThru

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

-ThrottleLimit<Int32>

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.

-TimeToLive<TimeSpan>

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.

-ZoneName<String>

Specifies the name of a DNS zone.

-Confirm

Prompts you for confirmation before running the cmdlet.

-WhatIf

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

<CommonParameters>

This cmdlet supports the common parameters: -Verbose, -Debug, -ErrorAction, -ErrorVariable, -OutBuffer, and -OutVariable. For more information, see    about_CommonParameters (https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkID=113216).

Inputs

The input type is the type of the objects that you can pipe to the cmdlet.

Outputs

The output type is the type of the objects that the cmdlet emits.

Examples

Example 1: Add a DNS record

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.

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