PowerShell for DNS Part 3

In this lecture, we will be creating DNS records using the ISE. I recommend that you copy and paste the commands into the command pane of PowerShell. That’ll save you a good bit of typing. Checkout the commands listed below.

Let me show you a little more about the ISE

First, we need to configure our panes. There are several different configurations

• Press this button if you want your Scripting pane on top and the command pane on the bottom.

The scripting pane is where I’ll be working.

The command pane is where you’ll be pasting your commands.

• You can press this button, if you prefer the scripting pane on the right and the command pane on the left
• Or you can click show scripting pane maximized.
• Or you can click this button and hide the scripting pane completely. This configuration is probably what you want for this lecture.

So again, I recommend that you copy and paste from the document as we work our way through the list of commands, like this.

First Highlight the command press Ctrl C, then click in the command windows then press Ctrl V, then press return, and you get a response.

Then you can type CLS and press return to clear your screen.

I recommend that you work right along with us even if you have to stop the video while you copy and paste the commands.

Anyway, the main thing is that you get familiar with the commands and how they work.

What we’re going to do is go through each of these commands one at a time and I’ll explain each command as we work our way through the list.

**Now let’s verify our zone information – I’ll go ahead and open my script **

Get-DNSServerZone

• This command returns all the zones from the local server.

And there’s our zone information. Notice my forward lookup zone instructorpaul.com And our reverse lookup zone 2.0.10.in-addr.arpa

• Your zone information will be different, but the command still works the same way. First, we…
