Add-DnsServerRecursionScope is accessible with the help of DnsServer module. To configure DnsServer, go through this link.
Synopsis
Adds a recursion scope on a DNS server.
Description
The Add-DnsServerRecursionScope cmdlet adds a recursion scope on a Domain Name System (DNS) server. Recursion scopes are unique instances of a group of settings that control recursion on a DNS server. A recursion scope contains a list of forwarders and specifies whether recursion is enabled. A DNS server can have many recursion scopes.
DNS server recursion policies allow you to choose a recursion scope for a set of queries. If the DNS server is not authoritative for certain queries, DNS server recursion policies allow you to control how to resolve those queries. You can specify which forwarders to use and whether to use recursion.
The legacy recursion setting and list of forwarders are now referred as the default recursion scope. You cannot add or remove the default recursion scope, identified by name as dot (.).
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.
| Type: | SwitchParameter |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-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.
| Type: | CimSession[] |
| Aliases: | Session |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-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.
| Type: | String |
| Aliases: | Cn |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-Confirm
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 |
-EnableRecursion
Indicates whether to enable recursion.
| Type: | Boolean |
| Position: | 3 |
| Default value: | None |
| Accept pipeline input: | True |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-Forwarder
Specifies an array IP addresses of forwarders for this recursion scope.
| Type: | IPAddress[] |
| Position: | 2 |
| Default value: | None |
| Accept pipeline input: | True |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-Name
Specifies a name for the recursion scope.
| Type: | String |
| Position: | 1 |
| Default value: | None |
| Accept pipeline input: | True |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-PassThru
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 |
-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: | Int32 |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-WhatIf
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 |

—————EXAMPLE 1—————
Add a recursion scope
PS C:>Add-DnsServerRecursionScope -Name “ScopeInternal” -Forwarder 10.0.0.1,172.22.0.1 -EnableRecursion $True -PassThru
This command adds a recursion scope to the DNS server. This scope enables recursion and specifies two forwarders.
