Creating and Manipulating Zones
The
MicrosoftDNS_Zone class provides a plethora of
properties and methods to aid in managing your zones. Even if you are
using AD-integrated zones, which help reduce the amount of work it
takes to maintain DNS, you will inevitably need to configure settings
on a zone or create additional zones. In Table 27-3 and Table 27-4, the list of
available properties and methods for the
MicrosoftDNS_Zone class are presented.
