Add-DnsServerResourceRecordPtr

Add-DnsServerResourceRecordPtr

Adds a type PTR resource record to a DNS server.

Syntax

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

Detailed Description

The Add-DnsServerResourceRecordPtr cmdlet adds a specified pointer (PTR) record to a specified Domain Name System (DNS) zone.

PTR resource records support reverse lookup based on the in-addr.arpa domain. PTR records locate a computer by its IP address and resolve the address to the DNS domain name for that computer.

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.

-Name<String>

Specifies part of the IP address for the host. You can use either an IPv4 or IPv6 address. For example, if you use an IPv4 class C reverse lookup zone, then Name specifies the last octet of the IP address. If you use a class B reverse lookup zone, then Name specifies the last two octets.

-PassThru

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

-PtrDomainName<String>

Specifies an FQDN for a resource record in the DNS namespace. This value is the response to a reverse lookup using this PTR.

-ThrottleLimit<Int32>

-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.

The Start of Authority (SOA) record defines the default TTL.

-ZoneName<String>

Specifies the name of a reverse lookup 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.

• System.Management.ManagementBaseObject

Outputs

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

• Microsoft.Management.Infrastructure.CimInstance#DnsServerResourceRecord

Examples

Example 1: Add a PTR record

This command adds a type PTR DNS record in the zone named contoso.com. The record maps IP address 192.168.0.17 to the name host17.contoso.com. The command includes the AllowUpdateAny and AgeRecord parameters, and provides a TTL value. Because the command includes the AgeRecord parameter, a DNS server can scavenge this record.

PS C:\> Add-DnsServerResourceRecordPtr -Name "17" -ZoneName "0.168.192.in-addr.arpa" -AllowUpdateAny -TimeToLive 01:00:00 -AgeRecord -PtrDomainName "host17.contoso.com"
