Start-DnsServerZoneTransfer
Start-DnsServerZoneTransfer
Starts a zone transfer for a secondary DNS zone from master servers.
Syntax
Parameter Set: Start0
Start-DnsServerZoneTransfer [-Name] <String> [-AsJob] [-CimSession <CimSession[]> ] [-ComputerName <String> ] [-FullTransfer] [-PassThru] [-ThrottleLimit <Int32> ] [-Confirm] [-WhatIf] [ <CommonParameters>]
Detailed Description
The Start-DnsServerZoneTransfer cmdlet starts a zone transfer of a secondary zone from the master servers. You can do a full transfer, where the secondary Domain Name System (DNS) server gets a copy of all the resource records for the zone. You can also do an incremental transfer, where the secondary DNS server gets new and changed resource records.
A zone transfer forces a check of the version number in the master server Start of Authority (SOA) record. If the version number on the master server is higher than the secondary server version number, then a zone transfer begins that updates the secondary server. If the version number is the same, no zone transfer begins.

Examples
Example 1: Start a zone transfer
This command starts a zone transfer on the local DNS server for the secondary zone named contoso.com. The command does not use the FullTransfer parameter, so it performs an incremental transfer.
PS C:\> Start-DnsServerZoneTransfer -Name "contoso.com"
