Add-DnsServerResourceRecordPtr

Reference

Adds a type PTR resource record to a DNS server.

Syntax

Add-DnsServerResourceRecordPtr
   [-AllowUpdateAny]
   [-PtrDomainName] <String>
   [-Name] <String>
   [-ComputerName <String>]
   [-ZoneName] <String>
   [-TimeToLive <TimeSpan>]
   [-AgeRecord]
   [-PassThru]
   [-ZoneScope <String>]
   [-VirtualizationInstance <String>]
   [-CimSession <CimSession[]>]
   [-ThrottleLimit <Int32>]
   [-AsJob]
   [-WhatIf]
   [-Confirm]
   [<CommonParameters>]

Description

The Add-DnsServerResourceRecordPtr cmdlet adds a specified pointer (PTR) record to a specified Domain Name System (DNS) zone.

PTR resource records support reverse lookup based on the in-addr.arpa domain. PTR records locate a computer by its IP address and resolve the address to the DNS domain name for that computer.

Examples

Example 1: Add a PTR record

PS C:\> Add-DnsServerResourceRecordPtr -Name "17" -ZoneName "0.168.192.in-addr.arpa" -AllowUpdateAny -TimeToLive 01:00:00 -AgeRecord -PtrDomainName "host17.contoso.com"

This command adds a type PTR DNS record in the zone named contoso.com. The record maps IP address 192.168.0.17 to the name host17.contoso.com. The command includes the AllowUpdateAny and AgeRecord parameters, and provides a TTL value. Because the command includes the AgeRecord parameter, a DNS server can scavenge this record.

Parameters

Indicates that the DNS server uses a time stamp for the resource record that this cmdlet adds. A DNS server can scavenge resource records that have become stale based on a time stamp.

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

Indicates that any authenticated user can update a resource record that has the same owner name.

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

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.

Type:	SwitchParameter
Position:	Named
Default value:	None
Accept pipeline input:	False
Accept wildcard characters:	False

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-CimSession or Get-CimSession cmdlet. The default is the current session on the local computer.

Type:	CimSession[]
Aliases:	Session
Position:	Named
Default value:	None
Accept pipeline input:	False
Accept wildcard characters:	False

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
Accept pipeline input:	False
Accept wildcard characters:	False

Prompts you for confirmation before running the cmdlet.

Type:	SwitchParameter
Aliases:	cf
Position:	Named
Default value:	False
Accept pipeline input:	False
Accept wildcard characters:	False

Specifies part of the IP address for the host. You can use either an IPv4 or IPv6 address. For example, if you use an IPv4 class C reverse lookup zone, then Name specifies the last octet of the IP address. If you use a class B reverse lookup zone, then Name specifies the last two octets.

Type:	String
Aliases:	RecordName
Position:	2
Default value:	None
Accept pipeline input:	True
Accept wildcard characters:	False

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
Accept pipeline input:	False
Accept wildcard characters:	False

Specifies an FQDN for a resource record in the DNS namespace. This value is the response to a reverse lookup using this PTR.

Type:	String
Position:	3
Default value:	None
Accept pipeline input:	True
Accept wildcard characters:	False

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
Accept pipeline input:	False
Accept wildcard characters:	False

Specifies the Time to Live (TTL) value, in seconds, for a resource record. Other DNS servers use this length of time to determine how long to cache a record.

The Start of Authority (SOA) record defines the default TTL.

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

Specifies the virtualization instance in which the zone will be added. A virtualization instance is logical partition in a DNS Server, which is capable of independently hosting zones and zone scopes. Same name zones and zone scopes can be hosted in different virtualization instances. This parameter is optional and if not provided it will add the zone into the default virtualization instance which is functionally equivalent to a standard DNS server.

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

Shows what would happen if the cmdlet runs. The cmdlet is not run.

Type:	SwitchParameter
Aliases:	wi
Position:	Named
Default value:	False
Accept pipeline input:	False
Accept wildcard characters:	False

Specifies the name of a reverse lookup zone.

Type:	String
Position:	1
Default value:	None
Accept pipeline input:	True
Accept wildcard characters:	False

Specifies the name of a zone scope.

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

Which of the following resource record type contains the information a DNS server?

DNS Types: 10 Top DNS Record Types The most common DNS record types are: Address Mapping record (A Record)—also known as a DNS host record, stores a hostname and its corresponding IPv4 address. IP Version 6 Address record (AAAA Record)—stores a hostname and its corresponding IPv6 address.

How do I reverse lookup a DNS record?

Solution.

Open the DNS Management snap-in..

If an entry for the DNS server you want to connect to does not exist, right-click on DNS in the left pane and select Connect to DNS Server. ... .

Expand the server in the left pane and click on Reverse Lookup Zones..

Right-click on Reverse Lookup Zones and select New Zone..

Click Next..

What's in the DNS type A resource record?

A resource record, commonly referred to as an RR, is the unit of information entry in DNS zone files; RRs are the basic building blocks of host-name and IP information and are used to resolve all DNS queries.

What is reverse lookup zone in DNS?

Reverse Lookup Zones. As mentioned earlier, a reverse lookup zone is an authoritative DNS zone that is used primarily to resolve IP addresses to network resource names. This zone type can be primary, secondary, or Active Directory—integrated.
