Module:
Az.Dns Module

Removes a DNS zone from a resource group.

Syntax

Remove-AzDnsZone
    -Name <String>

Object 

Remove-AzDnsZone
    -Zone <DnsZone>

    [-WhatIf]
    [-Confirm]
    [<CommonParameters>]

Description

The Remove-AzDnsZone cmdlet permanently deletes a Domain Name System (DNS) zone from a specified resource group. All record sets contained in the zone are also deleted. You can pass a DnsZone object using the Name parameter or by using the pipeline operator, or alternatively you can specify the ZoneName and ResourceGroupName parameters. You can use the Confirm parameter and $ConfirmPreference Windows PowerShell variable to control whether the cmdlet prompts you for confirmation. When specifying the zone using a DnsZone object (passed via the pipeline or Zone parameter), the zone is not deleted if it has been changed in Azure DNS since the local DnsZone object was retrieved (only operations directly on the DNS zone resource count as changes, operations on record sets within the zone do not). This provides protection for concurrent zone changes. This can be suppressed using the Overwrite parameter, which deletes the zone regardless of concurrent changes.

Examples

Example 1: Remove a zone

Remove-AzDnsZone -Name "myzone.com" -ResourceGroupName "MyResourceGroup"

This command removes the zone named myzone.com from the resource group named MyResourceGroup.

-Overwrite

When specifying the zone using a DnsZone object (passed via the pipeline or Zone parameter), the zone is not deleted if it has been changed in Azure DNS since the local DnsZone object was retrieved (only operations directly on the DNS zone resource count as changes, operations on record sets within the zone do not). This provides protection for concurrent zone changes. This can be suppressed using the Overwrite parameter, which deletes the zone regardless of concurrent changes.

Outputs

Boolean

Notes

Due to the potentially high impact of deleting a DNS zone, by default, this cmdlet prompts for confirmation if the $ConfirmPreference Windows PowerShell variable has any value other than None. If you specify Confirm or Confirm:$True, this cmdlet prompts you for confirmation before it runs. If you specify Confirm:$False, the cmdlet does not prompt you for confirmation.
