[<CommonParameters>] Description
The Add-DnsServerConditionalForwarderZone cmdlet adds a conditional forwarder to a Domain Name System (DNS) server. You can select the master servers, forwarder time-out, recursion, host computer, replication scope, and directory partition for the conditional forwarder. Conditional forwarders are stored as zones on a DNS server.
Examples
Example 1: Create a non-Active Directory-integrated forwarder
PS C:\> Add-DnsServerConditionalForwarderZone -Name "contoso.com" -MasterServers 2001:4898:7020:f100:458f:e6a2:fcaf:698c,172.23.90.124 -PassThru
ZoneName ZoneType IsAutoCreated IsDsIntegrated IsReverseLookupZone IsSigned
-------- -------- ------------- -------------- ------------------- --------
contoso.com Forwarder False False FalseThis command creates a conditional forwarder zone called contoso.com. The entries are stored in the registry. The command includes IP addresses for one or more master DNS servers. The command uses the -passthru parameter.
Example 2: Create an Active Directory- integrated forwarder
PS C:\>Add-DnsServerConditionalForwarderZone -Name "contoso.com" -ReplicationScope "Forest" -MasterServers 2001:4898:7020:f100:458f:e6a2:fcaf:698c,172.23.90.124This command creates an Active Directory-integrated conditional forwarder zone for contoso.com. The command specifies IP addresses for one or more master DNS servers.
Parameters
-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 the DNS server. The cmdlet adds the forwarder to this 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 forwarder. Conditional forwarders are internally stored as zones. Use this parameter when the ReplicationScope parameter has a value of Custom.
| Type: | String |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | False |
| Accept pipeline input: | True |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-ForwarderTimeout
Specifies a length of time, in seconds, that a DNS server waits for a master server to resolve a query. If a server does not resolve the request, the next server in the list is queried until all master servers are queried. After this period, the DNS server can attempt to resolve the query itself. This parameter applies only to the forwarder zone. The minimum value is 0. The maximum value is 15.
| Type: | UInt32 |
| Position: | 3 |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | False |
| Accept pipeline input: | True |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-LoadExisting
Indicates that the server loads existing data for the forwarder from the registry. Conditional forwarders are internally stored as zones. This parameter is not valid for Active Directory-integrated zones.
| Type: | SwitchParameter |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | False |
| Accept pipeline input: | True |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-MasterServers
Specifies an array of IP addresses of the master servers of the zone. DNS queries for a forwarded zone are sent to master servers. You can use both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses. You must specify at least one master server.
| Type: | IPAddress[] |
| Position: | 2 |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | True |
| Accept pipeline input: | True |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-Name
Specifies the name of a zone. The cmdlet adds a conditional forwarder for this zone.
| Type: | String |
| Aliases: | ZoneName |
| Position: | 1 |
| 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 the replication scope for the conditional forwarder. Conditional forwarders are stored internally as zones. The acceptable values for this parameter are:
- Custom. Replicate the conditional forwarder to all DNS servers running on domain controllers enlisted in a custom directory partition.
- Domain. Replicate the conditional forwarder to all DNS servers that run on domain controllers in the domain.
- Forest. Replicate the conditional forwarder to all DNS servers that run on domain controllers in the forest.
- Legacy. Replicate the conditional forwarder to all domain controllers in the domain.
| Type: | String |
| Accepted values: | Forest, Domain, Legacy, Custom |
| 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 |
-UseRecursion
Specifies whether a DNS server attempts to resolve a query after the forwarder fails to resolve it. A value of $False prevents a DNS server from attempting resolution using other DNS servers. This parameter overrides the Use Recursion setting for a DNS server.
| Type: | SwitchParameter |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | False |
| Accept pipeline input: | True |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-WhatIf
Shows what would happen if the cmdlet runs. The cmdlet is not run.
| Type: | SwitchParameter |
| Aliases: | wi |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | False |
| Required: | False |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
