Invoke-DnsServerZoneSign

Invoke-DnsServerZoneSign

Signs a DNS server zone.

Syntax

Parameter Set: Invoke0
Invoke-DnsServerZoneSign [-ZoneName] <String> [-AsJob] [-CimSession <CimSession[]> ] [-ComputerName <String> ] [-DoResign] [-Force] [-PassThru] [-SignWithDefault] [-ThrottleLimit <Int32> ] [-Confirm] [-WhatIf] [ <CommonParameters>]

Detailed Description

The Invoke-DnsServerZoneSign cmdlet signs a Domain Name System (DNS) server zone.

If the zone is not already signed, use the SignWithDefault parameter, which results in the zone being signed with one Zone Signing Keys (ZSK) and one Key Signing Key (KSK) using default DNS Security (DNSSEC) settings. If the zone is already signed, use the DoResign parameter. If you use both the SignWithDefault parameter and the DoResign parameter on a signed zone, the cmdlet removes the existing zone signing keys, and re-signs the zone using default settings.

Parameters

-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.

-DoResign

Re-signs a DNSSEC-signed zone.

-Force

Signs the DNS Server zone without prompting you for confirmation. By default, the cmdlet prompts you for confirmation before it proceeds.

-PassThru

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

-SignWithDefault

Signs a zone with default settings. If a zone is already signed, this parameter removes the existing KSK and ZSK values for the zone, and configures DNSSEC settings to default values. A new KSK and a new ZSK are used to resign the zone.

-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.

-ZoneName<String>

Specifies a name of a primary zone. The cmdlet signs this 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

Examples

Example 1: Sign a zone with default values

This command signs the contoso zone using new KSK and ZSK keys and default DNSSEC settings.

PS C:\> Invoke-DnsServerZoneSign -ZoneName "contoso.com" -SignWithDefault -PassThru -Verbose 

Example 2: Re-sign a zone

This command signs the contoso.com zone again.

PS C:\> Invoke-DnsServerZoneSign "contoso.com" -DoResign -PassThru -Verbose
