Add-Dns Server Resource Record CName

Adds a type CNAME resource record to a DNS zone.

Syntax

Description

The Add-DnsServerResourceRecordCName cmdlet adds a canonical name (CNAME) resource record to a specified Domain Name System (DNS) zone. A CNAME record allows you to use more than one resource record to refer to a single host.

You can use CNAME records for the following scenarios.

• Host more than one kind of server on the same system. For instance, you might host an FTP server and a Web server on the same system with the names ftp.contoso.com and www.contoso.com.
• Rename a computer with an existing host (A) resource record in the same DNS zone. You can use an CNAME resource record temporarily to allow a grace period for users and programs to switch from the old computer name to the new one.
• Resolve a generic name for a well-known server, like www, to a group of servers, such as redundant Web servers.

Examples

Example 1: Add a CNAME resource record

This command adds a CNAME resource record with the alias labsrv1 to the contoso.com domain for a system named srv1 in the zone named lab.contoso.com.

DNS Resource Record Management

Applies to: Windows Server (Semi-Annual Channel), Windows Server 2016

This topic provides information about managing DNS resource records by using IPAM.

In addition to this topic, the following DNS resource record management topics are available in this section.

Resource record management overview

When you deploy IPAM in Windows Server 2016, you can perform server discovery to add DHCP and DNS servers to the IPAM server management console. The IPAM server then dynamically collects DNS data every six hours from the DNS servers that it is configured to manage. IPAM maintains a local database where it stores this DNS data. IPAM provides you with notification of the day and time that the server data was collected, as well as telling you the next day and time when data collection from DNS servers will occur.

The yellow status bar in the following illustration shows the user interface location of IPAM notifications.

The DNS data that is collected includes DNS zone and resource record information. You can configure IPAM to collect zone information from your preferred DNS server. IPAM collects both file-based and Active Directory zones.

IPAM collects data solely from domain-joined Microsoft DNS servers. Third party DNS servers and non-domain joined servers are not supported by IPAM.

Following is a list of DNS resource record types that are collected by IPAM.

Add a DNS Resource Record

Applies to: Windows Server (Semi-Annual Channel), Windows Server 2016

You can use this topic to add one or more new DNS resource records by using the IPAM client console.

Membership in Administrators, or equivalent, is the minimum required to perform this procedure.

To add a DNS resource record

In Server Manager, click IPAM. The IPAM client console appears.

In the navigation pane, in MONITOR AND MANAGE, click DNS Zones. The navigation pane divides into an upper navigation pane and a lower navigation pane.

In the lower navigation pane, click Forward Lookup. All IPAM-managed DNS Forward Lookup zones are displayed in the display pane search results. Right-click the zone where you want to add a resource record, and then click Add DNS resource record.

The Add DNS Resource Records dialog box opens. In Resource record properties, click DNS server and select the DNS server where you want to add one or more new resource records. In Configure DNS resource records, click New.

The dialog box expands to reveal New Resource Record. Click Resource record type.

The list of resource record types is displayed. Click the resource record type that you want to add.

In New Resource Record, in Name, type a resource record name. In IP Address, type an IP address, and then select the resource record properties that are appropriate for your deployment. Click Add Resource Record.

If you do not want to create additional new resource records, click OK. If you want to create additional new resource records, click New.

The dialog box expands to reveal New Resource Record. Click Resource record type. The list of resource record types is displayed. Click the resource record type that you want to add.

In New Resource Record, in Name, type a resource record name. In IP Address, type an IP address, and then select the resource record properties that are appropriate for your deployment. Click Add Resource Record.

If you want to add more resource records, repeat the process for creating records. When you are done creating new resource records, click Apply.

The Add Resource Record dialog box displays a resource records summary while IPAM creates the resource records on the DNS server that you specified. When the records are successfully created, the Status of the record is Success.

Add-Dns Server Resource Record

Adds a resource record of a specified type to a specified DNS zone.

Syntax

Description

The Add-DnsServerResourceRecord cmdlet adds a resource record for a Domain Name System (DNS) zone on a DNS server. You can add different types of resource records. Use different switches for different record types. For more information about resource records, see Managing Resource Records.

By using this cmdlet, you can change a value for a record, configure whether a record has a time stamp, whether any authenticated user can update a record with the same owner name, and change lookup timeout values, Windows Internet Name Service (WINS) cache settings, and replication settings.

Examples

Example 1: Add an A record

This command adds an A record that is named Host34 in the zone contoso.com with the specified IP address. The command uses the AllowUpdateAny switch to allow any authenticated user to update the record. It specifies a TTL value and enables a time stamp for the record.

Example 2: Add an A resource record under the Admin node

This command adds an A record for Host21 under the Admin node of Contoso.com.

Example 3: Add an AAAA resource record

This command adds an AAAA record. The command specifies AllowUpdateAny, a TTL value, and enables a time stamp for the record.

Example 4: Add a CNAME resource record

This command adds a CNAME resource record. The command specifies AllowUpdateAny and a TTL value.

Example 5: Add a PTR resource record

This command adds a pointer record named host77.contoso.com for the IP address 192.168.0.77 to the reverse lookup zone 0.168.192.in-addr.arpa..

Example 6: Add an MX resource record

This command adds an MX resource record for the contoso.com zone with a preference of 10.

Example 7: Add an SRV resource record

This command adds a service locator (SRV) resource record for the _sip service on port 5060 with a weight and priority of 0 to the contoso.com domain. The host that offers the service is sipserver1.contoso.com.
