DNS WMI Classes
The DNS WMI Provider defines the following DNS WMI classes.
| Microsoft DNS WMI class | Description |
|---|---|
| MicrosoftDNS_Server | Describes a DNS Server. Every instance of this class may be associated with one instance of class MicrosoftDNS_Cache, one instance of class MicrosoftDNS_RootHints, and multiple instances of class MicrosoftDNS_Zone. |
| MicrosoftDNS_Domain | Represents a domain in a DNS hierarchy tree. |
| MicrosoftDNS_Zone | Describes a DNS Zone. Every instance of the class MicrosoftDNS_Zone must be assigned to exactly one DNS Server. Zones may be associated with multiple instances of the classes MicrosoftDNS_Domain and MicrosoftDNS_ResourceRecord. |
| MicrosoftDNS_Cache | Describes a cache existing on a DNS Server (do not confuse this with a cache file that contains root hints). This class simplifies visualizing the containment of DNS objects, rather than representing a real object. The class, MicrosoftDNS_Cache, is a container for the resource records cached by the DNS Server. Every instance of the class MicrosoftDNS_Cache must be assigned to exactly one DNS Server. It may be associated with multiple instances of MicrosoftDNS_Domain and MicrosoftDNS_ResourceRecord. |
| MicrosoftDNS_RootHints | Describes the RootHints stored in a cache file on a DNS Server. This class simplifies visualizing the containment of DNS objects, rather than representing a real object. Class MicrosoftDNS_RootHints is a container for the resource records stored by the DNS Server in a cache file. Every instance of the class MicrosoftDNS_RootHints must be assigned to exactly one DNS Server. It may be associated with multiple instances of the MicrosoftDNS_ResourceRecord class. |
| MicrosoftDNS_Statistic | Represents a single DNS Server statistic. |
| MicrosoftDNS_ServerDomainContainment | Every instance of the class MicrosoftDNS_ServerDomainContainment may contain multiple instances of the class MicrosoftDNS_Domain. |
| MicrosoftDNS_DomainDomainContainment | Every instance of the MicrosoftDNS_DomainDomainContainment class may contain multiple other instances of MicrosoftDNS_Domain. |
| MicrosoftDNS_DomainResourceRecordContainment | Every instance of the class MicrosoftDNS_DomainResourceRecordContainment may contain multiple instances of the MicrosoftDNS_ResourceRecord class. |
| MicrosoftDNS_ResourceRecord | Represents the general properties of a DNS RR. |
| MicrosoftDNS_AAAAType | Represents an IPv6 Address (AAAA), often pronounced quad-A, RR. Subclass of MicrosoftDNS_ResourceRecord. |
