Description

The Get-DnsServerResourceRecord cmdlet gets the following information for a specified resource record from a Domain Name System (DNS) zone:

• HostName
• RecordType
• RecordClass
• TimeToLive
• Timestamp
• RecordData

Examples

Example 1: Get all resource records in a specified zone

PS C:\> Get-DnsServerResourceRecord -ZoneName "contoso.com"

This command gets all DNS server resource records in a zone named contoso.com.

Example 2: Get all resource records in a zone for a specified node

PS C:\> Get-DnsServerResourceRecord -ZoneName "contoso.com" -Name "Admin01"

This command gets all DNS server resource records in a zone named contoso.com from the node named Admin01.

Example 3: Get all resource records in a zone by specified host name

PS C:\> Get-DnsServerResourceRecord -ZoneName "contoso.com" -Name "Host02"

This command gets all DNS server resource records in a zone named contoso.com that have the name Host02. The command is similar to the one in example 2, but in this case the command uses a host name instead of a node name.

Example 4: Get all A records in a zone by specified host and specified type

PS C:\> Get-DnsServerResourceRecord -ZoneName "contoso.com" -Name "Host03" -RRType "A"

This command gets all A records in a zone named contoso.com that have the name Host03.

Example 5: Get all A records in a specified zone

PS C:\> Get-DnsServerResourceRecord -ZoneName "contoso.com" -RRType "A"

This command gets all A records in a zone named contoso.com.

Example 6: Get all NS records at the root of a specified zone

PS C:\> Get-DnsServerResourceRecord -ZoneName "contoso.com" -RRType "NS" -Node

This command gets all NS records at the root of a zone named 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.

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

-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.

-Name

Specifies a node name within the selected zone. If not specified, it defaults to the root (@) node.

-Node

Indicates that the command returns only the resource records at the root of the node specified by the Name parameter. If Node is not specified then both the root and any child records in the node are returned.

-RRType

Specifies the type of resource record.

The acceptable values for this parameter are:

• HInfo
• Afsdb
• Atma
• Isdn
• Key
• Mb
• Md
• Mf
• Mg
• MInfo
• Mr
• Mx
• NsNxt
• Rp
• Rt
• Wks
• X25
• A
• AAAA
• CName
• Ptr
• Srv
• Txt
• Wins
• WinsR
• Ns
• Soa
• NasP
• NasPtr
• DName
• Gpos
• Loc
• DhcId
• Naptr
• RRSig
• DnsKey
• DS
• NSec
• NSec3
• NSec3Param

-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

Specifies a type of record to get.

-VirtualizationInstance

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.

-ZoneName

Specifies the name of a DNS server zone.

-ZoneScope

Specifies the name of a zone scope.

Outputs

CimInstance[]

• Set-DnsServerResourceRecord
• Add-DnsServerResourceRecord
• Remove-DnsServerResourceRecord
