Description

The Add-DnsServerZoneDelegation cmdlet adds a zone delegation to a Domain Name System (DNS) zone. For instance, you can add a child domain called west01 to your top level domain, contoso.com, and specify a DNS server for that delegated domain.

Examples

Example 1: Add a zone delegation
