Description

The Add-DnsServerStubZone cmdlet adds a stub zone. A stub zone is a copy of a Domain Name System (DNS) zone that contains only resource records that identify the DNS servers for that zone.

You can add either a forward lookup zone or a reverse lookup zone. You can add either an Active Directory-integrated zone or a file-backed zone.

Examples

Example 1: Add a file-backed stub zone

PS C:\> Add-DnsServerStubZone -Name "west02.contoso.com" -MasterServers "172.23.90.124" -PassThru -ZoneFile "west02_contoso.dns"

This command adds west02.contoso.com as a file-backed stub zone. The command specifies a master server and uses the PassThru parameter to produce output.

Example 2: Add an Active Directory-integrated stub zone

PS C:\>Add-DnsServerStubZone -Name "west03.contoso.com" -MasterServers 172.23.90.124 -PassThru -ReplicationScope "Forest"

This command adds west03.contoso.com as a stub zone replicated to all DNS servers in the forest.

Example 3: Add an Active Directory-integrated reverse lookup zone

PS C:\>Add-DnsServerStubZone -NetworkId 10.1.2.0/24 -MasterServers 172.23.90.124 -PassThru -ReplicationScope Forest

This command adds a stub zone for the network 2.1.10.in-addr.arpa, which is replicated to all DNS servers in the forest.

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:	4
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

-MasterServers

Specifies an array of IP addresses of the master servers of the zone. You can use both IPv4 and IPv6.

Type:	IPAddress[]
Position:	2
Default value:	None
Required:	True
Accept pipeline input:	True
Accept wildcard characters:	False

-Name

Specifies a name of a zone.

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:	3
Default value:	None
Required:	True
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

-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

-ZoneFile

Specifies a name of the zone file. This parameter is only relevant for file-backed DNS.

Type:	String
Position:	Named
Default value:	None
Required:	False
Accept pipeline input:	True
Accept wildcard characters:	False
