The Add-DnsServerPrimaryZone cmdlet adds a specified primary zone on a Domain Name System (DNS) server.
You can add an Active Directory-integrated forward lookup zone, an Active Directory-integrated reverse lookup zone, a file-backed forward lookup zone, or a file-backed reverse lookup zone.
This command creates the file-backed reverse lookup zone 0.3.10.in-addr.arpa.
Parameters
-AsJob
Runs the cmdlet as a background job. Use this parameter to run commands that take a long time to complete.
The cmdlet immediately returns an object that represents the job and then displays the command prompt.
You can continue to work in the session while the job completes.
To manage the job, use the *-Job cmdlets.
To get the job results, use the Receive-Job cmdlet.
For more information about Windows PowerShell background jobs, see about_Jobs.

-NetworkId
Specifies a network ID and prefix length for a reverse lookup zone.
Use the format A.B.C.D/prefix for IPv4 or 1111:2222:3333:4444::/prefix for IPv6.
For IPv4, the cmdlet creates only class A, B, C, or D reverse lookup zones.
If you specify a prefix that is between classes, the cmdlet uses the longer prefix that is divisible by 8.
For example, a value of 10.2.10.0/23 adds the 10.2.10.0/24 reverse lookup zone, and the 10.2.11.0/24 reverse lookup zone is not created.
If you enter an IPv4 prefix longer than /24, the cmdlet creates a /32 reverse lookup zone.
For IPv6, the cmdlet creates ip6.arpa zones for prefixes from /16 to /128 that are divisible by 4.
If you specify a prefix that is between values, the cmdlet uses the longer prefix that is divisible by 4.
For example, entering a value of AAAA::/58 adds the AAAA::/60 ip6.arpa zone.
If you do not enter a prefix, the cmdlet uses a default prefix value of /128.

-ThrottleLimit
Specifies the maximum number of concurrent operations that can be established to run the cmdlet.

The throttle limit applies only to the current cmdlet, not to the session or to the computer.

-VirtualizationInstance
Specifies the virtualization instance in which the zone will be added.
A virtualization instance is logical partition in a DNS Server, which is capable of independently hosting zones and zone scopes.
Same name zones and zone scopes can be hosted in different virtualization instances.
This parameter is optional and if not provided it will add the zone into the default virtualization instance which is functionally equivalent to a standard DNS server.
