ZoneScope file missing?

When I execute Get-DnsServerZoneScope -ZoneName "domain.tld" I get: 

ZoneScope            FileName
---------            --------
domaint.tld
Scope1

In each manual I've been through there's a FileName filled.

What possible problem could cause my situation?
What are implications of "not having" FileName filled?

Tested on all three my DCs with same results.
There're no relevant files in C:\Windows\system32\dns.

    Hi ,

    I have also tested in my lab and I found the same behavior. When we run Get-DnsServerZoneScope -ZoneName "XXX.XX", filename will be empty.

    I did not find any official document talking about this behavior.

    I searched a lot and found some newer articles'( third-party DNS policy Guide) filename is empty as well. So I would suspect this behavior in the latest version of server 2016 is by design. I would suggest you just ignore it since it will not affect anything.

    ---Please Accept as answer if the reply is helpful---

    Best Regards,
