Manage Role Based Access Control with Windows PowerShell

You can use this topic to learn how to use IPAM to manage role based access control with Windows PowerShell.

Note

For the IPAM Windows PowerShell command reference, see the IpamServer cmdlets in Windows PowerShell.

The new Windows PowerShell IPAM commands provide you with the ability to retrieve and change the access scopes of DNS and DHCP objects. The following table illustrates the correct command to use for each IPAM object.

IPAM Object Command Description
DNS Server Get-IpamDnsServer This cmdlet returns the DNS server object in IPAM
DNS Zone Get-IpamDnsZone This cmdlet returns the DNS zone object in IPAM
DNS Resource Record Get-IpamResourceRecord This cmdlet returns the DNS resource record object in IPAM
DNS Conditional Forwarder Get-IpamDnsConditionalForwarder This cmdlet returns the DNS conditional forwarder object in IPAM
DHCP Server Get-IpamDhcpServer This cmdlet returns the DHCP server object in IPAM
DHCP Superscope Get-IpamDhcpSuperscope This cmdlet returns the DHCP superscope object in IPAM
DHCP Scope Get-IpamDhcpScope This cmdlet returns the DHCP scope object in IPAM

In the following example of command output, the Get-IpamDnsZone cmdlet retrieves the dublin.contoso.com DNS zone.

PS C:\Users\Administrator.CONTOSO> Get-IpamDnsZone -ZoneType Forward -ZoneName dublin.contoso.com

ZoneName             : dublin.contoso.com
ZoneType             : Forward
AccessScopePath      : \Global\Dublin
IsSigned             : False
DynamicUpdateStatus  : None
ScavengeStaleRecords : False

Setting Access Scopes on IPAM Objects

You can set access scopes on IPAM objects by using the Set-IpamAccessScope command. You can use this command to set the access scope to a specific value for an object or to cause the objects to inherit access scope from parent objects. Following are the objects that you can configure with this command.

  • DHCP Scope

  • DHCP Server

  • DHCP Superscope

  • DNS Conditional Forwarder

  • DNS Resource Records

  • DNS Server

  • DNS Zone

  • IP Address Block

  • IP Address Range

  • IP Address Space

  • IP Address Subnet

Following is the syntax for the Set-IpamAccessScope command.

In the following example, the access scope of the DNS zone dublin.contoso.com is changed from Dublin to Europe.

PS C:\Users\Administrator.CONTOSO> Get-IpamDnsZone -ZoneType Forward -ZoneName dublin.contoso.com

ZoneName             : dublin.contoso.com
ZoneType             : Forward
AccessScopePath      : \Global\Dublin
IsSigned             : False
DynamicUpdateStatus  : None
ScavengeStaleRecords : False

PS C:\Users\Administrator.CONTOSO> $a = Get-IpamDnsZone -ZoneType Forward -ZoneName dublin.contoso.com
PS C:\Users\Administrator.CONTOSO> Set-IpamAccessScope -IpamDnsZone -InputObject $a -AccessScopePath \Global\Europe -PassThru

ZoneName             : dublin.contoso.com
ZoneType             : Forward
AccessScopePath      : \Global\Europe
IsSigned             : False
DynamicUpdateStatus  : None
