Add-DnsServerDirectoryPartition

Add-DnsServerDirectoryPartition is accessible with the help of DnsServer module. To configure DnsServer, go through this link.

Synopsis

Creates a DNS application directory partition.

Description

The Add-DnsServerDirectoryPartition cmdlet creates a Domain Name System (DNS) application directory partition. After you install a DNS server, DNS creates an application directory partition for the service at the forest and domain levels. This cmdlet creates additional DNS application directory partitions.

You can store DNS zones in the domain or application directory partitions of Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS). A partition is a data structure in AD DS that distinguishes data for different replication purposes. When you create an application directory partition for DNS, you can control the scope of replication for the zone that is stored in that partition.

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 remote DNS server. 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.

-Confirm

Prompts you for confirmation before running the cmdlet.

-Name

Specifies a name for the new DNS application directory partition.

-PassThru

Returns an object representing the item with which you are working. By default, this cmdlet does not generate any output.

-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 DNS application directory partition. The acceptable values for this parameter are:

To create a default domain-wide DNS application directory partition for the Active Directory domain where the specified DNS server is located, specify /Domain.

To create a default forest-wide DNS application directory partition for the Active Directory forest where the specified DNS server is located, specify /Forest.

The ComputerName parameter is ignored for an /AllDomains DNS application directory partition. The computer from where you run this command must be joined to a domain in the forest where you want to create all of the default domain-wide application directory partitions.

-WhatIf

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