Description

The Add-DnsServerSigningKey cmdlet adds a Key Signing Key (KSK) or Zone Signing Key (ZSK) key to a Domain Name System (DNS) signed zone.

Examples

Example 1: Add a KSK to a DNS zone

PS C:\> Add-DnsServerSigningKey -ZoneName "corp.contoso.com" -Type "KeySigningKey" -CryptoAlgorithm "RsaSha1NSec3" -KeyLength 2048 -PassThru -Verbose

This command adds a KSK to the DNS signed-zone corp.contoso.com.

Parameters

-ActiveKey

Specifies a signing key pointer string for the KSK's active key.

Type:	String
Position:	Named
Default value:	None
Required:	False
Accept pipeline input:	False
Accept wildcard characters:	False

-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.

Type:	SwitchParameter
Position:	Named
Default value:	None
Required:	False
Accept pipeline input:	False
Accept wildcard characters:	False

-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.

Type:	CimSession[]
Aliases:	Session
Position:	Named
Default value:	None
Required:	False
Accept pipeline input:	False
Accept wildcard characters:	False

-ComputerName

Specifies a remote DNS server. 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.

Type:	String
Aliases:	Cn
Position:	Named
Default value:	None
Required:	False
Accept pipeline input:	False
Accept wildcard characters:	False

-Confirm

Prompts you for confirmation before running the cmdlet.

Type:	SwitchParameter
Aliases:	cf
Position:	Named
Default value:	False
Required:	False
Accept pipeline input:	False
Accept wildcard characters:	False

-CryptoAlgorithm

Specifies a cryptographic algorithm to use for key generation. The acceptable values for this parameter are:

• RsaSha1
• RsaSha256
• RsaSha512
• RsaSha1NSec3
• ECDsaP256Sha256
• ECDsaP384Sha384

Type:	String
Accepted values:	RsaSha1, RsaSha256, RsaSha512, RsaSha1NSec3, ECDsaP256Sha256, ECDsaP384Sha384
Position:	3
Default value:	None
Required:	False
Accept pipeline input:	True
Accept wildcard characters:	False

-DnsKeySignatureValidityPeriod

Specifies the amount of time that signatures that cover DNSKEY record sets are valid.

Type:	TimeSpan
Position:	Named
Default value:	None
Required:	False
Accept pipeline input:	True
Accept wildcard characters:	False

-DSSignatureValidityPeriod

Specifies the amount of time that signatures that cover DS record sets are valid.

Type:	TimeSpan
Position:	Named
Default value:	None
Required:	False
Accept pipeline input:	True
Accept wildcard characters:	False

-InitialRolloverOffset

Specifies the amount of time to delay the first scheduled key rollover. You can use InitialRolloverOffset to stagger key rollovers.

Type:	TimeSpan
Position:	Named
Default value:	None
Required:	False
Accept pipeline input:	True
Accept wildcard characters:	False

-KeyLength

Specifies the bit length of a key.

Type:	UInt32
Position:	4

-KeyStorageProvider

Specifies the Key Storage Provider that the DNS server uses to generate keys.

Type:	String
Position:	Named
Default value:	None
Required:	False
Accept pipeline input:	True

-NextKey

Specifies a signing key pointer string for the next key. The DNS server uses this key during the next key rollover event.

Type:	String
Position:	Named
Default value:	None
Required:	False
Accept pipeline input:	False
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.

Type:	String
Position:	Named
Default value:	None
Required:	False

-StoreKeysInAD

Specifies whether to store the keys in Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS). This setting applies only to Active Directory-integrated zones when the vendor of KeyStorageProvider is Microsoft.

Type:	Boolean
Position:	Named
Default value:	None
Required:	False
Accept pipeline input:	True
Accept wildcard characters:	False

-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.

Type:	Int32
Position:	Named
Default value:	None
Required:	False
Accept pipeline input:	False
Accept wildcard characters:	False
