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.
