I am trying to update a DNS Record which is at (I believe) the following path on the server:
ServerName -> Forward Lookup Zones -> domain.com -> test
Where the DNS record is called test, and is of type Host(A).
I downloaded the DNSShell module from here and tried changing the 'Data' column of the DNS record (which contains an IP address) with this command:
Set-DNSRecord -Identity "test.domain.com"
But I got this error:
Cannot validate argument on parameter 'Identity'. The argument "test.domain.com" does not match the "^\\.\root\MicrosoftDNS:MicrosoftDNS_" pattern. Supply an argument that matches "^\\.\root\MicrosoftDNS:MicrosoftDNS_" and try the command again.
So I updated the Identity parameter as follows:
Set-DNSRecord -Identity "\\Servername\root\MicrosoftDNS:MicrosoftDNS_"
But now I am seeing:
Set-DNSRecord : Specified argument was out of the range of the valid values. Parameter name: Path
When I try adding a -Path, it says there is not such parameter! Does anyone know where I need to add the test.domain.com part of the DNS to tell the command which record to update? The documentation on this module is incomplete for this part of it and I can't seem to find any alternatives.
I can call Get-DNSRecord and see the record I need to update, but any attempts to Set are blocked because I have no idea how these paths are built.
Any help is much appreciated.
I managed to overcome this by using ye olde classic CMD command:
dnscmd /RecordAdd domain.com recordname RecordType /Aging /OpenAcl A 192.168.0.0
This adds a new record, and seems to do so even when another record with the same name (but different IP) exists.
So in my case, I will have to use dnscmd to first remove the existing record before adding a new one (as I actually just want to update the IP address of the existing record).
Command for removing DNS record :
dnscmd /recorddelete domain.com recordname
