Remove-DnsServerResourceRecord

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

Synopsis

Removes specified DNS server resource records from a zone.

Description

The Remove-DnsServerResourceRecord cmdlet removes resource record objects from a Domain Name System (DNS) zone.

You can either use the Get-DnsServerResourceRecord cmdlet to specify an object, or you can specify the RRtype, Name and RecordData of the resource record you want to remove. If you specify an RRtype or name and there are multiple resource records, you can specify the RecordData to delete a specific record. If you do not specify RecordData, the cmdlet deletes all records that match RRtype and Name for the specified zone.

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.

-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 DNS server. If you do not specify this parameter, the command runs on the local system. 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.

-Force

Removes a record or records without prompting you for confirmation. By default, the cmdlet prompts you for confirmation before it proceeds.

-InputObject

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

-Name

Specifies the name of a DNS server resource record object.

-PassThru

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

-RecordData

Specifies the data contained in the resource record you want to delete.

-RRType

Specifies the type of resource record.

The acceptable values for this parameter are:

-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 the type of record to remove.

-VirtualizationInstance

Specifies the virtualization instance in which the zone will be added. A virtualization instance is logical partition in a DNS Server, which is capable of independently hosting zones and zone scopes. Same name zones and zone scopes can be hosted in different virtualization instances. This parameter is optional and if not provided it will add the zone into the default virtualization instance which is functionally equivalent to a standard DNS server.

-WhatIf

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

-ZoneName

Specifies the name of a DNS zone.

-ZoneScope

Specifies the name of a zone scope.
