The Add-DnsServerZoneDelegation cmdlet adds a zone delegation to a Domain Name System (DNS) zone.
For instance, you can add a child domain called west01 to your top level domain, contoso.com, and specify a DNS server for that delegated domain.
This command creates a delegation for west01 in the zone contoso.com with the specified name server and IP address.
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.

-ThrottleLimit
Specifies the maximum number of concurrent operations that can be established to run the cmdlet.
If this parameter is omitted or a value of 0 is entered, then Windows PowerShell® calculates an optimum throttle limit for the cmdlet based on the number of CIM cmdlets that are running on the computer.
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.

-ZoneScope
Specifies the name of a zone scope.
If you do not specify this parameter, the cmdlet adds the delegation into the default scope of the zone.
We recommend that you add the delegations in all available scopes.
Not adding delegations in all scopes causes loss in visibility to the child domains by means of certain scopes of parent zone where you do not add delegation.
