Detailed Description

The Add-DnsServerPrimaryZone cmdlet adds a specified primary zone on a Domain Name System (DNS) server.

You can add an Active Directory-integrated forward lookup zone, an Active Directory-integrated reverse lookup zone, a file-backed forward lookup zone, or a file-backed reverse lookup zone.

Parameters

-AsJob

Aliases	none
Required?	false
Position?	named
Default Value	none
Accept Pipeline Input?	false
Accept Wildcard Characters?	false

-CimSession<CimSession[]>

Runs the cmdlet in a remote session or on a remote computer. Enter a computer name or a session object, such as the output of a New-CimSession or Get-CimSession cmdlet. The default is the current session on the local computer.

Aliases	none
Required?	false
Position?	named
Default Value	none
Accept Pipeline Input?	false
Accept Wildcard Characters?	false

-ComputerName<String>

Specifies a DNS server. If you do not specify this parameter, the command runs on the local system. You can specify an IP address or any value that resolves to an IP address, such as a fully qualified domain name (FQDN), host name, or NETBIOS name.

Aliases	none
Required?	false
Position?	named
Default Value	none
Accept Pipeline Input?	false
Accept Wildcard Characters?	false

-DirectoryPartitionName<String>

Specifies a directory partition on which to store the zone. Use this parameter when the ReplicationScope parameter has a value of Custom.

Aliases	none
Required?	false
Position?	4
Default Value	none
Accept Pipeline Input?	false
Accept Wildcard Characters?	false

-DynamicUpdate<String>

Specifies how a zone accepts dynamic updates. The acceptable values for this parameter are:

-- None
-- Secure
-- NonsecureAndSecure

Secure DNS updates are available only for Active Directory-integrated zones.

Aliases	none
Required?	false
Position?	named
Default Value	none
Accept Pipeline Input?	True (ByPropertyName)
Accept Wildcard Characters?	false

-LoadExisting

Loads an existing file for the zone. Otherwise, the cmdlet creates default zone records automatically. This switch is relevant only for file-backed zones.

Aliases	none
Required?	false
Position?	named
Default Value	none
Accept Pipeline Input?	True (ByPropertyName)
Accept Wildcard Characters?	false

-Name<String>

Specifies a name for the zone the cmdlet creates.

Aliases	none
Required?	true
Position?	2
Default Value	none
Accept Pipeline Input?	True (ByPropertyName)
Accept Wildcard Characters?	false

-NetworkId<String>

Specifies a network ID and prefix length for a reverse lookup zone. Use the format A.B.C.D/prefix.

The cmdlet creates only class A, B, C, or D zones. If you specify a prefix that is between classes, the cmdlet uses the longer prefix divisible by 8. For example, a value of 10.2.10.0/23 results in the 10.2.10.0/24 reverse lookup zone, not the 10.2.11.0/24 reverse lookup zone. If you enter a prefix longer than /24, the cmdlet creates a /32 reverse lookup zone.

Aliases	none
Required?	true
Position?	named
Default Value	none
Accept Pipeline Input?	True (ByPropertyName)
Accept Wildcard Characters?	false

-PassThru

Returns an object representing the item with which you are working. By default, this cmdlet does not generate any output.

Aliases	none
Required?	false
Position?	named
Default Value	none
Accept Pipeline Input?	false
Accept Wildcard Characters?	false

-ReplicationScope<String>

Specifies a partition on which to store an Active Directory-integrated zone. The acceptable values for this parameter are:

-- Custom. Any custom directory partition that a user creates. Specify a custom directory partition by using the DirectoryPartitionName parameter.
-- Domain. The domain directory partition.
-- Forest. The ForestDnsZone directory partition.
-- Legacy. A legacy directory partition.

Aliases	none
Required?	true
Position?	3
Default Value	none
Accept Pipeline Input?	True (ByPropertyName)
Accept Wildcard Characters?	false

-ResponsiblePerson<String>

Specifies a person responsible for the zone.

Aliases	none
Required?	false
Position?	named
Default Value	none
Accept Pipeline Input?	True (ByPropertyName)
Accept Wildcard Characters?	false

-ThrottleLimit<Int32>

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.

Aliases	none
Required?	false
Position?	named
Default Value	none
Accept Pipeline Input?	false
Accept Wildcard Characters?	false

-ZoneFile<String>

Specifies a name of the zone file. This parameter is only relevant for file-backed zones.

Aliases	none
Required?	true
Position?	named
Default Value	none
Accept Pipeline Input?	True (ByPropertyName)
Accept Wildcard Characters?	false

-Confirm

Prompts you for confirmation before running the cmdlet.

Required?	false
Position?	named
Default Value	false
Accept Pipeline Input?	false
Accept Wildcard Characters?	false

-WhatIf

Shows what would happen if the cmdlet runs. The cmdlet is not run.

Required?	false
Position?	named
Default Value	false
Accept Pipeline Input?	false
Accept Wildcard Characters?	false

Examples

Example 1: Create a primary zone

This command creates an Active Directory-integrated forward lookup zone called west01.contoso.com with Forest-wide replication scope.

PS C:\> Add-DnsServerPrimaryZone -Name "west01.contoso.com" -ReplicationScope "Forest" -PassThru 

Example 2: Create a file-backed primary zone

This command creates a file-backed primary forward lookup zone called west02.contoso.com with the specified DNS file.

PS C:\> Add-DnsServerPrimaryZone -Name "west02.contoso.com" -ZoneFile "west02.contoso.com.dns"

Example 3: Create a reverse lookup zone

This command creates the Active Directory-integrated class C reverse lookup zone 0.1.10.in-addr.arpa with Forest-wide replication scope.

PS C:\> Add-DnsServerPrimaryZone -NetworkID "10.1.0.0/24" -ReplicationScope "Forest" 

Example 4: Create a file-backed reverse lookup zone

This command creates the file-backed reverse lookup zone 0.3.10.in-addr.arpa.

PS C:\> Add-DnsServerPrimaryZone -NetworkID 10.3.0.0/24 -ZoneFile "0.3.10.in-addr.arpa.dns"
