The Remove-DnsServerDirectoryPartition cmdlet removes a Domain Name System (DNS). You cannot remove a DNS server from the DomainDnsZones or ForestDnsZones application directory partitions.

Examples

Example 1: Remove a directory partition from the local DNS server

PS C:\> Remove-DnsServerDirectoryPartition -Name "ADpart" -PassThru -Force

This command removes the DNS server from a DNS application directory partition named ADpart. This command removes the directory partition without prompting you for confirmation and returns information about the DNS application directory partition that the command removed.

Required Parameters

-Name

Specifies the FQDN of a DNS application directory partition.

Type: String

Position: 1
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: True (ByPropertyName)
Accept wildcard characters: False

Optional 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.

For more information about Windows PowerShell background jobs, see about_Jobs .
