[<CommonParameters>] 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.
Examples
Example 1: Create a primary zone
PS C:\> Add-DnsServerPrimaryZone -Name "west01.contoso.com" -ReplicationScope "Forest" -PassThruThis command creates an Active Directory-integrated forward lookup zone called west01.contoso.com with Forest-wide replication scope.
Example 2: Create a file-backed primary zone
PS C:\>Add-DnsServerPrimaryZone -Name "west02.contoso.com" -ZoneFile "west02.contoso.com.dns"This command creates a file-backed primary forward lookup zone called west02.contoso.com with the specified DNS file.
Example 3: Create a reverse lookup zone
PS C:\>Add-DnsServerPrimaryZone -NetworkID "10.1.0.0/24" -ReplicationScope "Forest"
ZoneName ZoneType IsAutoCreated IsDsIntegrated IsReverseLookupZone IsSigned
-------- -------- ------------- -------------- ------------------- --------
1.10.in-addr.arpa Primary False True True FalseThis command creates the Active Directory-integrated class C reverse lookup zone 0.1.10.in-addr.arpa with Forest-wide replication scope.
Example 4: Create a file-backed reverse lookup zone
PS C:\>Add-DnsServerPrimaryZone -NetworkID 10.3.0.0/24 -ZoneFile "0.3.10.in-addr.arpa.dns"This command creates the file-backed reverse lookup zone 0.3.10.in-addr.arpa.
Parameters
-AsJob
ps_cimcommon_asjob
| 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-CimSessionhttp://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=227967 or Get-CimSessionhttp://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=227966 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 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.
| 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 |
-DirectoryPartitionName
Specifies a directory partition on which to store the zone. Use this parameter when the ReplicationScope parameter has a value of Custom.
| Type: | String |
| Position: | 3 |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | False |
| Accept pipeline input: | True |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-DynamicUpdate
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.
| Type: | String |
| Accepted values: | None, Secure, NonsecureAndSecure |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | False |
| Accept pipeline input: | True |
| 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.
| Type: | SwitchParameter |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | False |
| Accept pipeline input: | True |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-Name
Specifies a name for the zone the cmdlet creates.
| Type: | String |
| Aliases: | ZoneName |
| Position: | 1 |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | True |
| Accept pipeline input: | True |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-NetworkId
Specifies a network ID and prefix length for a reverse lookup zone. Use the format A.B.C.D/prefix for IPv4 or 1111:2222:3333:4444::/prefix for IPv6.
For IPv4, the cmdlet creates only class A, B, C, or D reverse lookup zones. If you specify a prefix that is between classes, the cmdlet uses the longer prefix that is divisible by 8. For example, a value of 10.2.10.0/23 adds the 10.2.10.0/24 reverse lookup zone, and the 10.2.11.0/24 reverse lookup zone is not created. If you enter an IPv4 prefix longer than /24, the cmdlet creates a /32 reverse lookup zone.
For IPv6, the cmdlet creates ip6.arpa zones for prefixes from /16 to /128 that are divisible by 4. If you specify a prefix that is between values, the cmdlet uses the longer prefix that is divisible by 4. For example, entering a value of AAAA::/58 adds the AAAA::/60 ip6.arpa zone. If you do not enter a prefix, the cmdlet uses a default prefix value of /128.
| Type: | String |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | True |
| Accept pipeline input: | True |
| 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: | SwitchParameter |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | False |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-ReplicationScope
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.
| Type: | String |
| Accepted values: | Forest, Domain, Legacy, Custom |
| Position: | 2 |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | True |
| Accept pipeline input: | True |

| 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 |
