Description

The Set-DnsServerResourceRecordAging cmdlet ages Domain Name System (DNS) resource records in a DNS zone. You must enable aging at the zone level by using the Set-DnsServerZoneAging cmdlet.

A resource record can remain after the resource is no longer part of the network. Aging settings determine when a record can be removed as stale. After that time, designated DNS servers can remove, or scavenge, a stale record.

This cmdlet sets a time stamp to the current time for records in a specified zone on the specified DNS server, if you have enabled aging for the zone.

Examples

Example 1: Age records in a zone

PS C:\> Set-DnsServerResourceRecordAging -ZoneName "contoso.com" -Force -Recurse

This command ages all the records under contoso.com, recursively. The Force parameter overrides the default confirmation message.

Example 2: Age records under a node

PS C:\> Set-DnsServerResourceRecordAging -NodeName "three.two" -ZoneName "contoso.com"

This command ages all the records under the three.two node in the zone contoso.com.

Required Parameters

-ZoneName

Specifies the name of a DNS zone.

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 .

Type: SwitchParameter
Position: Named
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: False
-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.

Type: CimSession[]
Aliases: Session
Position: Named
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: False
-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.

Type: String
Aliases: Cn
Position: Named
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: False
-Confirm

Prompts you for confirmation before running the cmdlet.

Type: SwitchParameter
Aliases: cf
Position: Named
Default value: False
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: False
-Force

Performs the action without a confirmation message.

Type: SwitchParameter
Position: Named
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: False
-NodeName

Specifies a node or subtree in DNS zone. The acceptable values for this parameter are:

  • @ for root node.
  • The FQDN of a node (the name with a period (.) at the end).
  • A single label for the name relative to the zone root.
Type: String
Position: 2
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: True (ByPropertyName)
Accept wildcard characters: False
-Recurse

Indicates that the DNS server ages all the nodes under the specified node. Use this parameter to age all records in a zone.

Type: SwitchParameter
Position: Named
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: False
-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: Int32
Position: Named
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: False
-WhatIf

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

Type: SwitchParameter
