Add-DnsServerSigningKey

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

Synopsis

Adds a KSK or ZSK to a signed zone.

Description

The Add-DnsServerSigningKey cmdlet adds a Key Signing Key (KSK) or Zone Signing Key (ZSK) key to a Domain Name System (DNS) signed zone.

Parameters

-ActiveKey

Specifies a signing key pointer string for the KSK’s active key.

-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.

-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.

-CryptoAlgorithm

Specifies a cryptographic algorithm to use for key generation. The acceptable values for this parameter are:

-DnsKeySignatureValidityPeriod

Specifies the amount of time that signatures that cover DNSKEY record sets are valid.

-DSSignatureValidityPeriod

Specifies the amount of time that signatures that cover DS record sets are valid.

-InitialRolloverOffset

Specifies the amount of time to delay the first scheduled key rollover. You can use InitialRolloverOffset to stagger key rollovers.

-KeyLength

Specifies the bit length of a key.

-KeyStorageProvider

Specifies the Key Storage Provider that the DNS server uses to generate keys.

-NextKey

Specifies a signing key pointer string for the next key. The DNS server uses this key during the next key rollover event.

-PassThru

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

-RolloverPeriod

Specifies the amount of time between scheduled key rollovers.

-StandbyKey

Specifies a signing key pointer string for the KSK’s standby key.

-StoreKeysInAD

Specifies whether to store the keys in Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS). This setting applies only to Active Directory-integrated zones when the vendor of KeyStorageProvider is Microsoft.

-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 whether a key is a KSK or a ZSK.

-WhatIf

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

-ZoneName

Specifies the name of the zone in which DNS Security Extensions (DNSSEC) operations are performed.

-ZoneSignatureValidityPeriod

Specifies the amount of time that signatures that cover all other record sets are valid.

—————EXAMPLE 1—————
Add a KSK to a DNS zone
PS C:> Add-DnsServerSigningKey -ZoneName “delhi.TOSSolution.com” -Type “KeySigningKey” -CryptoAlgorithm “RsaSha1NSec3” –KeyLength 2048 -PassThru -Verbose
This command adds a KSK to the DNS signed-zone delhi.TOSSolution.com.
