Description

The Set-DnsServerDsSetting cmdlet modifies Domain Name System (DNS) Active Directory settings.

Note: If any of the set operations fails, the Set-DnsServerDsSetting cmdlet must not terminate. It must continue to set other operations and display the modified settings.

Examples

Example 1: Set an auto-enlist interval for a directory partition

PS C:\> Set-DnsServerDsSetting -DirectoryPartitionAutoEnlistInterval 15.00:00:00 -PassThru

PollingInterval(s)                   : 180
TombstoneInterval                    : 14.00:00:00
DirectoryPartitionAutoEnlistInterval : 15.00:00:00
LazyUpdateInterval(s)                : 3
MinimumBackgroundLoadThreads         : 1
RemoteReplicationDelay(s)            : 30

This command sets an auto-enlist interval to 15 days for a directory partition.

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.

-DirectoryPartitionAutoEnlistInterval

Specifies the interval, during which a DNS server tries to enlist itself in a DNS domain partition and DNS forest partition, if it is not already enlisted. We recommend that you limit this value to the range one hour to 180 days, inclusive, but you can use any value. We recommend that you set the default value to one day. You must set the value 0 (zero) as a flag value for the default value. However, you can allow zero and treat it literally.

Type:	TimeSpan
Default value:	None
Supports wildcards:	False
DontShow:	False

Parameter sets

(All)

Position:	Named
Mandatory:	False

Value from remaining arguments:	False

-LazyUpdateInterval

Specifies a value, in seconds, to determine how frequently the DNS server submits updates to the directory server without specifying the LDAP_SERVER_LAZY_COMMIT_OID control ([MS-ADTS] section 3.1.1.3.4.1.7) at the same time that it processes DNS dynamic update requests. We recommend that you limit this value to the range 0x00000000 to 0x0000003c. You must set the default value to 0x00000003. You must set the value zero to indicate that the DNS server does not specify the LDAP_SERVER_LAZY_COMMIT_OID control at the same time that it processes DNS dynamic update requests. For more information about LDAP_SERVER_LAZY_COMMIT_OID, see LDAP_SERVER_LAZY_COMMIT_OID control code.

The LDAP_SERVER_LAZY_COMMIT_OID control instructs the DNS server to return the results of a directory service modification command after it is completed in memory but before it is committed to disk. In this way, the server can return results quickly and save data to disk without sacrificing performance.

The DNS server must send this control only to the directory server that is attached to an LDAP update that the DNS server initiates in response to a DNS dynamic update request.

If the value is nonzero, LDAP updates that occur during the processing of DNS dynamic update requests must not specify the LDAP_SERVER_LAZY_COMMIT_OID control if a period of less than DsLazyUpdateInterval seconds has passed since the last LDAP update that specifies this control. If a period that is greater than DsLazyUpdateInterval seconds passes, during which time the DNS server does not perform an LDAP update that specifies this control, the DNS server must specify this control on the next update.

-MinimumBackgroundLoadThreads

Specifies the minimum number of background threads that the DNS server uses to load zone data from the directory service. You must limit this value to the range 0x00000000 to 0x00000005, inclusive. You must set the default value to 0x00000001, and you must treat the value zero as a flag value for the default value.

-RemoteReplicationDelay

Specifies the minimum interval, in seconds, that the DNS server waits between the time that it determines that a single object has changed on a remote directory server, to the time that it tries to replicate a single object change. You must limit the value to the range 0x00000005 to 0x00000E10, inclusive. You must set the default value to 0x0000001E, and you must treat the value zero as a flag value for the default value.

-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.

Parameter properties

Type:	Int32
Default value:	None
Supports wildcards:	False
DontShow:	False

Parameter sets

(All)

Position:	Named
Mandatory:	False

Value from remaining arguments:	False

-TombstoneInterval

Specifies the amount of time that DNS keeps tombstoned records alive in Active Directory. We recommend that you limit this value to the range three days to eight weeks, inclusive, but you can set it to any value in the range 82 hours to 8 weeks. We recommend that you set the default value to 14 days and treat the value zero as a flag value for the default. However, you can allow the value zero and treat it literally.

At 2:00 A.M. local time every day, the DNS server must search all directory service zones for nodes that have the Active Directory dnsTombstoned attribute set to True, and for a directory service EntombedTime (section 2.2.2.2.3.23 of MS-DNSP) value that is greater than previous directory service DSTombstoneInterval seconds. You must permanently delete all such nodes from the directory server.
