Description

The Register-DnsServerDirectoryPartition cmdlet registers a Domain Name System (DNS) server in a DNS application directory partition. After you create a Domain Name System (DNS) application directory partition to store a zone, you must register the DNS server that hosts the zone in the application directory partition. After you register a DNS server in a DNS application directory partition, the DNS server adds itself the to the replication scope of the DNS application directory partitions.

Examples

Example 1: Register a DNS server to a directory application partition

PS C:\> Register-DnsServerDirectoryPartition -Name "ADpart"

This command adds the local DNS server to the directory application partition named ADpart.

Example 2: Register a remote DNS server to a directory application partition using FQDN

PS C:\> Register-DnsServerDirectoryPartition -Name "hr.dept.contoso.com"

This command adds the local DNS server to the directory application partition named hr.dept.contoso.com.

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.
