Syntax

Set-DnsServerResourceRecord
   [-NewInputObject] <CimInstance>
   [-OldInputObject] <CimInstance>
   [-ComputerName <String>]
   [-ZoneName] <String>
   [-PassThru]
   [-CimSession <CimSession[]>]
   [-ThrottleLimit <Int32>]
   [-AsJob]
   [-WhatIf]
   [-Confirm]
   [<CommonParameters>]

Description

The Set-DnsServerResourceRecord cmdlet changes a resource record object located in a Domain Name System (DNS) zone. You can use the OldInputObject parameter to specify a resource record object that you want to change and NewInputObject to specify a new resource record. This cmdlet cannot change the Name or Type of a DNS server resource record object.

Examples

Example 1: Change the settings of a resource record

PS C:\> $NewObj = $OldObj = Get-DnsServerResourceRecord -Name "Host01" -ZoneName "contoso.com" -RRType "A"
PS C:\> $NewObj.TimeToLive = [System.TimeSpan]::FromHours(2)
PS C:\> Set-DnsServerResourceRecord -NewInputObject $NewObj -OldInputObject $OldObj -ZoneName "contoso.com" -PassThru
HostName                  RecordType Timestamp            TimeToLive      RecordData

--------                  ---------- ---------            ----------      ----------

Host01                       A          0                    02:00:00        2.2.2.2

In this example, the time to live (TTL) value of the resource record named Host01 in the zone named contoso.com is changed to 2 hours.

The first command assigns a resource record named Host01 in the zone named contoso.com to the variables $NewObj and $OldObj.

The second command sets the TTL time span for $NewObj to 2 hours.

The third command changes the properties of $OldObj to the settings specified for $NewObj in the previous command.
