Dnslint Syntax

Applies To: Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2003 R2, Windows Server 2003 with SP1, Windows Server 2003 with SP2

DNSLint Syntax

DNSLint uses the following syntax:

Art Imagednslint/ddomain_name | /ad | /ql {text_file | autocreate} [/v] [/r report_name] [/y] [/no_open] [/s alternate_DNS_server_ip_address] [/c SMTP|POP|IMAP] [/t] [/test_tcp]

Parameters

  • /d domain
    Specifies the domain to test. This is a required parameter.
  • /ad
    Tests the DNS records used by Active Directory for replication. This is a required parameter. The /s parameter is required with this parameter.
  • /ql {text_file | autocreate}
    Sends DNS queries based on input from a text file containing a list of DNS names. The command dnslint /ql autocreate creates an example textfile. The /ql parameter supports A, PTR, CNAME, SRV, and MX DNS record types. This is a required parameter. The /ql parameter will accept either a text file name or the autocreate option, not both.
  • /v
    Turns on verbose output.
  • /r report_name
    Specifies a name for the DNSLint report file. The default report name is DNSLint Report.htm.
  • Note

    • DNSLint always appends an .htm extension to the file, even if you specify an extension. For example, if you specify report_name=my_file.rpt, the resulting file will be called my_file.rpt.htm.
  • /y
    Overwrites any existing report file without prompting the user.
  • /no_open
    Prevents the DNSLint report from opening after it is generated.
  • /s alternate_DNS_server_ip_address
    This parameter supplies an alternate DNS server, forcing DNSLint to bypass InterNIC. This parameter is useful for testing domain structures that are not availible from the InterNIC database.
  • /c SMTP|POP|IMAP
    Used to perform connectivity tests on well-known e-mail ports when e-mail servers are found while inspecting DNS servers. See "Remarks" for more information.
  • /t
    Used to request a plain text file with the same name as the DNSLint report file. (The default filename is DNLint Report.htm, unless the /r parameter is used to specify a different name.)
  • /test_tcp
    Used to test TCP port 53 as well as UDP port 53. Unless this parameter is specified, DNSLint test the UDP port only.

Notes

  • You must always specify one of the following parameters: /d, /ad, and /ql. However, they cannot be used together.

  • The /c parameter cannot be used with the /ad or /ql parameters.

  • When using the /ad parameter, /s must also be used.

  • The /test_tcp parameter cannot be used with the /ql parameter.
