Hello.

I have an on-prem MS DNS server with a bunch of reverse zones that need to be modified. I need to add a couple IP's to each of the individual zones, and modify the Zone Transfers options to set the "Only to server listed on the Name Servers tab" option.

So far I'm not having a lot of luck finding a CMDLET that will do either of those things. I'll script it out from there, but I can't seem to find the CMDLETs that will do that type of task. Does anyone have any ideas?

    To add the PTR record(s), use the Add-DnsServerResourceRecordPtr cmdlet.

    If you're trying to limit the primary zone to allow transfers only to a list of secondary servers, the Set-DnsServerPrimaryZone cmdlet is what you want.
