I wouldn't use PowerShell to do this, unless you have more than a handful of zones to transfer.
Process: Allow zone transfers from the Linux DNS server to the Windows DNS server. Create a secondary zone on the Windows DNS server pointing to the primary zone on the Linux DNS server with the Linux DNS server as the master. Reload the zone on Windows (transfer all the zone records from Linux to Windows). Promote the zone on Windows to primary. Stop the zone on Linux. Remove the zone transfer info from the Windows DNS server. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Kurt Buff Sent: Thursday, February 18, 2016 9:09 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [powershell] DNS: pulling records from one zone, entering them into another zone All, We're decommissioning a DNS server in our lab, which had its own zone - it's a Linux environment, not a Windows environment, so we're not messing with AD in the lab. However, currently our AD DNS servers are secondaries for DNS in the lab. We wish to copy the A records from the lab zone into the production zone. After that's accomplished, we will be finish off decommissioning the lab DNS server. STFW shows me how to merge zones, which is not what we're after. Of course, all of the records we're copying will be static. I'm just not seeing how to do this one. Naively, I am thinking that something like this would work: get-dnsserverresourcerecord -computername usdc01p -zonename examplelab.com -rrtype A | select hostname, recorddata | get-dnsserverresourcerecord -zonename testzone.net -computername usdc01p I'm going to stand up a test zone in AD, and try this out. If anyone's done something like this, do you know of any particular gotchas?
