External dns txt records are not processed

Question

I am using windows server 2008 r2 Hello, ran into the problem that the command “nslookup –type = txt” does not return the answer for some domains where this record actually exists. I have an nslookup running if I search for mx-record, a-record, etc., but txt-record doesn't work. Tell me what could be the problem? Below I attach an example of the executed commands: Windows PowerShell Copyright (C) 2016 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved. PS C: \ Users \ Administrator> nslookup -type = mx yandex.ru Server: dns.google Address: 8.8.8.8 Non-authoritative answer: yandex.ru MX preference = 10, mail exchanger = mx.yandex.ru PS C: \ Users \ Administrator> nslookup -type = a yandex.ru Server: dns.google Address: 8.8.8.8 DNS request timed out. timeout was 2 seconds. Non-authoritative answer: Name: yandex.ru Addresses: 5.255.255.55 77.88.55.60 77.88.55.55 5.255.255.60 PS C: \ Users \ Administrator> nslookup -type = txt yandex.ru Server: dns.google Address: 8.8.8.8 *** dns.google can't find yandex.ru: Unspecified error PS C: \ Users \ Administrator>

Hi,

Thanks for posting in Q&A platform.

Please try first start nslookup without parameters, then type set type=txt, then type the domain name.

nslookup <enter>  
set type=txt <enter>
