The Set-DnsServerConditionalForwarderZone cmdlet changes settings of an existing conditional forwarder on a Domain Name System (DNS) server.
You can change the master servers, forwarder time-out, recursion, recursion scope, and directory partition name for a conditional forwarder zone.
This command changes the replication scope of contoso.com to a value of Domain, which means all DNS servers in the domain.
This example uses the PassThru parameter to create output.
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.

The acceptable values for this parameter are:
Custom.
Replicate the conditional forwarder to all DNS servers running on domain controllers enlisted in a custom directory partition.
Domain.
Replicate the conditional forwarder to all DNS servers that run on domain controllers in the domain.
Forest.
Replicate the conditional forwarder to all DNS servers that run on domain controllers in the forest.
Legacy.
Replicate the conditional forwarder to all domain controllers in the domain.

-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.

A value of $False prevents a DNS server from attempting resolution using other DNS servers.
This parameter overrides the Use Recursion setting for a DNS server.
