Syntax

Parameter Set: ForwardLookupZone
Add-DnsServerSecondaryZone [-Name] <String> [-ZoneFile] <String> [-MasterServers] <IPAddress[]> [-AsJob] [-CimSession <CimSession[]> ] [-ComputerName <String> ] [-LoadExisting] [-PassThru] [-ThrottleLimit <Int32> ] [-Confirm] [-WhatIf] [ <CommonParameters>]

Parameter Set: ReverseLookupZone
Add-DnsServerSecondaryZone [-ZoneFile] <String> [-MasterServers] <IPAddress[]> -NetworkId <String> [-AsJob] [-CimSession <CimSession[]> ] [-ComputerName <String> ] [-LoadExisting] [-PassThru] [-ThrottleLimit <Int32> ] [-Confirm] [-WhatIf] [ <CommonParameters>]

Detailed Description

The Add-DnsServerSecondaryZone cmdlet adds a specified secondary zone on a Domain Name System (DNS) server. You can create either a forward lookup zone or a reverse lookup zone. To create a reverse lookup zone, specify a network ID by using the NetworkID parameter, or specify a full reverse lookup zone name by using the Name parameter.

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.

-LoadExisting

Loads an existing file for the zone. Otherwise, the cmdlet creates default zone records automatically. This switch is relevant only for file-backed zones.

-MasterServers<IPAddress[]>

Specifies an array of IP addresses of the master servers of the zone. You can use both IPv4 and IPv6.

-Name<String>

Specifies a name of a zone.

-NetworkId<String>

Specifies the network ID and prefix for the secondary zone. Enter an IP address with prefix length in this format: 11.1.1/24 or 1234::/64.

-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.

-ZoneFile<String>

Specifies the name of the zone file. This parameter is only relevant for file-backed zones.

-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 secondary DNS server zone

This command creates a secondary DNS zone named western.contoso.com with the specified master server. This zone is file-backed.

PS C:\> Add-DnsServerSecondaryZone -Name "western.contoso.com" -ZoneFile "western.contoso.com.dns" -MasterServers 172.23.90.124 

Example 2: Create secondary zones

This example gets primary zones from the server win-olpn33s5q3m.mytest.contoso.com and creates secondary zones (except TrustAnchors and AutoCreated zones) on the local system.

PS C:\> Get-DnsServerZone -ComputerName win-olpn33s5q3m.mytest.contoso.com | where {("Primary" -eq $_.ZoneType) -and ($false -eq $_.IsAutoCreated) -and ("TrustAnchors" -ne $_.ZoneName)} | %{ $_ | Add-DnsServerSecondaryZone -MasterServers 172.23.90.136  -ZoneFile "$($_.ZoneName).dns"}
