Get-IpamDnsZone

Gets information about DNS zones from IPAM database.

Syntax

Get-IpamDnsZone
   [-ZoneType] <ZoneType[]>
   [[-ZoneName] <String[]>]
   [-CimSession <CimSession[]>]
   [-ThrottleLimit <Int32>]
   [-AsJob]
   [<CommonParameters>]

Description

The Get-IpamDnsZone cmdlet gets information about all the Domain Name System (DNS) zones in the IPAM (IP Address Management) server database. A DNS zone is a distinct section of the domain name system for an organization. For instance, the DNS zone northamerica.contoso.com would maintain DNS records for contoso.com's northamerica subdomain. Likewise, the DNS zone southamerica.contoso.com would maintain DNS records for contoso.com's southamerica subdomain.

Examples

Example 1: Get information about all forward zones

PS C:\> Get-IpamDnsZone -ZoneType "Forward"

This command returns information about all the forward zones in the IPAM database.

Example 2: Get information about the forward zones in a specific DNS zone

PS C:\> Get-IpamDnsZone -ZoneType "Forward" -ZoneName "northamerica.contoso.com"

This command returns information for the DNS zone named northamerica.contoso.com.

Parameters

-AsJob

Runs the cmdlet as a background job. Use this parameter to run commands that take a long time to complete.

The cmdlet immediately returns an object that represents the job and then displays the command prompt. You can continue to work in the session while the job completes. To manage the job, use the *-Job cmdlets. To get the job results, use the Receive-Job cmdlet.

For more information about Windows PowerShell background jobs, see about_Jobs.

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.
