DNS WMI Classes
Applies To: Windows Server 2008
The following table lists and describes the WMI classes that are associated with the DNS Server service.
| Microsoft DNS WMI Class | Description |
|---|---|
MicrosoftDNS_Server |
Describes a DNS server. Every instance of this class might be associated with one instance of class MicrosoftDNS_Cache, one instance of class MicrosoftDNS_RootHints, and multiple instances of class MicrosoftDNS_Zone. |
MicrosoftDNS_Domain |
Represents a domain in a DNS hierarchy tree. |
MicrosoftDNS_Zone |
Describes a DNS zone. Every instance of the class MicrosoftDNS_Zone must be assigned to exactly one DNS server. Zones might be associated with multiple instances of the classes MicrosoftDNS_Domain and MicrosoftDNS_ResourceRecord. |
MicrosoftDNS_Cache |
Describes a cache existing on a DNS server. (Do not confuse this with a cache file that contains root hints.) This class simplifies visualizing the containment of DNS objects, rather than representing a real object. The class is a container for the resource records cached by the DNS server. Every instance of the class MicrosoftDNS_Cache must be assigned to exactly one DNS server. It might be associated with multiple instances of MicrosoftDNS_Domain and MicrosoftDNS_ResourceRecord. |
MicrosoftDNS_RootHints |
Describes the RootHints stored in a cache file on a DNS server. This class simplifies visualizing the containment of DNS objects, rather than representing a real object. The class is a container for the resource records stored by the DNS server in a cache file. Every instance of the class MicrosoftDNS_RootHints must be assigned to exactly one DNS server. It might be associated with multiple instances of the MicrosoftDNS_ResourceRecord class. |
MicrosoftDNS_Statistic |
Represents a single DNS server statistic. |
MicrosoftDNS_ServerDomainContainment |
Every instance of the class MicrosoftDNS_ServerDomainContainment might contain multiple instances of the class MicrosoftDNS_Domain. |
MicrosoftDNS_DomainDomainContainment |
Every instance of the MicrosoftDNS_DomainDomainContainment class might contain multiple other instances of MicrosoftDNS_Domain. |
MicrosoftDNS_DomainResourceRecordContainment |
Every instance of the class MicrosoftDNS_DomainResourceRecordComtainment might contain multiple instances of the MicrosoftDNS_ResourceRecord class. |
