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

Synopsis

Adds a zone transfer policy to a DNS server.

Description

The Add-DnsServerZoneTransferPolicy cmdlet adds a zone transfer policy to a Domain Name System (DNS) server. A policy determines zone transfers based on criteria that you specify in the policy.

A policy consists of criteria and action.

The criteria are a logical combination of client subnet, server interface IP address, fully qualified domain name (FQDN), Internet Protocol (IPv4/IPv6), transport protocol (UDP/TCP), time of day, and query type.

Specify criteria in the following format:

operator, value01, value02, . . . , operator, value03, value04, . . .

The operator is either EQ or NE. You can specify no more than one of each operator in a criterion.

The policy treats values that follow the EQ operator as multiple assertions which are logically combined (OR’d). The policy treats values that follow the NE operator as multiple assertions which are logically differenced (AND’d).

This cmdlet combines multiple criteria by using the value of the Condition parameter as the logical operator. This parameter takes one of the following values:

— OR. The policy evaluates criteria as multiple assertions which are logically combined (OR’d).
— AND. The policy evaluates criteria as multiple assertions which are logically differenced (AND’d).

If a query meets the criteria of a policy, the action is the response that the policy requires. You can specify DENY or IGNORE.

You can create policies for zone transfer at either the server level or the zone level. Server level policies apply on every zone transfer query that occurs on the DNS server. Zone level policies apply only on the queries on a zone hosted on the DNS server. The most common use for zone level policies is to implement blocked or safe lists.

Zone level policies apply to the zone in which you create them. You cannot create a zone level policy without a zone. If you remove a zone, that removal deletes the associated zone level policies.

Parameters

-Action

Specifies the action to take if a zone transfer matches this policy. The acceptable values for this parameter are:

-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.

-ClientSubnet

Specifies the client subnet criterion. For more information, see Add-DnsServerClientSubnet. Specify a criterion in the following format:

operator, value01, value02, . . . , operator, value03, value04, . . .

The operator is either EQ or NE. You can specify no more than one of each operator in a criterion.

The policy treats values that follow the EQ operator as multiple assertions which are logically combined (OR’d). The policy treats values that follow the NE operator as multiple assertions which are logically differenced (AND’d). The criterion is satisfied if the subnet of the zone transfer matches one of the EQ values and does not match any of the NE values.

Example criterion: "EQ,NorthAmerica,Asia,NE,Europe"

-ComputerName

Specifies a remote DNS server. You can specify an IP address or any value that resolves to an IP address, such as an FQDN, host name, or NETBIOS name.

-Condition

Specifies how the policy treats multiple criteria. The acceptable values for this parameter are:

The default value is AND.

-Confirm

Prompts you for confirmation before running the cmdlet.

-Disable

Indicates that this cmdlet disables the policy. If you do not specify this parameter, the cmdlet creates the policy and enables it.

-InputObject

Specifies the input to this cmdlet. You can use this parameter, or you can pipe the input to this cmdlet.

-InternetProtocol

Specifies the Internet Protocol criterion. Valid values are: IPv4 and IPv6. Specify a criterion in the following format:

operator, value01, value02, . . . , operator, value03, value04, . . .

The operator is either EQ or NE. You can specify no more than one of each operator in a criterion.

The policy treats values that follow the EQ operator as multiple assertions which are logically combined (OR’d). The policy treats values that follow the NE operator as multiple assertions which are logically differenced (AND’d). The criterion is satisfied if the IP address of the zone transfer matches one of the EQ values and does not match any of the NE values.

Example criteria: "EQ,IPv4" and "EQ,IPv6"

-Name

Specifies a name for the new policy.

-PassThru

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

-ProcessingOrder

Specifies the precedence of the policy. Higher integer values have lower precedence. By default, this cmdlet adds a new policy as the lowest precedence.

-ServerInterfaceIP

Specifies the IP address of the server interface on which the DNS server listens. Specify a criterion in the following format:

operator, value01, value02, . . . , operator, value03, value04, . . .

The operator is either EQ or NE. You can specify no more than one of each operator in the criterion.

The policy treats values the follow the EQ operator as multiple assertions which are logically combined (OR’d). The policy treats values that follow the NE operator as multiple assertions which are logically differenced (AND’d). The criterion is satisfied if the IP address of the interface matches one of the EQ values and does not match any of the NE values.

Example criteria: "EQ,10.0.0.1" and "NE,192.168.1.1"

-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.

-TimeOfDay

Specifies the time of day criterion. Specify a criterion in the following format:

operator, value01, value02, . . . , operator, value03, value04, . . .

The operator is either EQ or NE. You can specify no more than one of each operator in the criterion.

The policy treats values the follow the EQ operator as multiple assertions which are logically combined (OR’d). The policy treats values that follow the NE operator as multiple assertions which are logically differenced (AND’d). The criterion is satisfied if the time of day of the zone transfer matches one of the EQ values and does not match any of the NE values.

Example criterion: "EQ,10:00-12:00,22:00-23:00"

-TransportProtocol

Specifies the transport protocol criterion. Valid values are: TCP and UDP. Specify a criterion in the following format:

operator, value01, value02, . . . , operator, value03, value04, . . .

The operator is either EQ or NE. You can specify no more than one of each operator in the string.

The policy treats values the follow the EQ operator as multiple assertions which are logically combined (OR’d). The policy treats values that follow the NE operator as multiple assertions which are logically differenced (AND’d). The criterion is satisfied if the transport protocol of the zone transfer matches one of the EQ values and does not match any of the NE values.

Example criterion: "EQ,TCP,NE,UDP"

-WhatIf

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

-ZoneName

Specifies the name of a DNS zone on which this cmdlet creates a zone level policy. The zone must exist on the DNS server.
