Batch Adding 254 PTR Records

[RobBentley]

Hi,

I need to batch add 254 PTR records to a R-DNS zone in Microsoft DNS Server.

I basically need to assign them all the same PTR record until such time as a client requests a R-DNS change.

Any ideas?

You can script this using DNSCMD /recordadd.

Goto a Command prompt and run DNSCMD for help. Then when you get the proper command line syntax, copy and past the command syntax using Excel or something similar to make your 254 statements.

An old trick would be to edit the zone file (assuming your Win2K DNS server is not AD integrated -- in that case you will need to convert to standard) and then paste your statements to the file and then right click on the DNS zone and select RELOAD which should update the zone
