Anyone using Microsoft DNS on WIN 2003 Server?

[Adam Dicker]

I am wondering if anyone has come across tools to make it easier to input lists of domains into Microsoft DNS in Windows 2003 server.

1 by 1 is way to time consumimg.

Please let me know.

I can set it up easily, the issue is they all have to be entered 1 at a time and I have thousands to enter, must be a script somwhere to do it.

That is what this is about. There's a utility called dnscmd.exe that you can use with a batch file to setup domains programmatically. Details on doing it is at those links.

example:

dnscmd PRIMARY /zoneadd contoso.COM /primary /file contoso.COM.dns
//sets up the overall zone contoso.COM on the primary name server

dnscmd SECONDARY /zoneadd contoso.COM /secondary /file contoso.COM.dns
//sets up the zone on the secondary

dnscmd PRIMARY /recordadd contoso.COM @ A 1.1.1.1
//sets up the record on the primary server for contoso.COM pointing to the IP 10.1.1.1

dnscmd PRIMARY /recordadd contoso.COM www CNAME contoso.COM
//sets up a CNAME record for WWW.contoso.com to point to the same IP as
// contoso.COM

batch file for adding a new site:

@SET PRIMARYNS=dns.contoso.com
@SET SECONDARYNS=dns1.contoso.com
@SET IP=1.1.1.1
@SET LOC=c:\web
@SET FTPSITE=ftp_computername
@SET ANONACCT=IUSR_computername
@SET IIS_ASPNET_ACCT=networkservice

dnscmd %PRIMARYNS% /recordadd %2%3 @ NS %SECONDARYNS%

@goto end

:errormissingvariable
@echo You are missing a variable.
@goto usage

:usage
@echo Creates a domain on the LOCAL server.
@echo var1=username, var2=domain (without extension!), var3=extension, var4=y (for FrontPage 2002 Server Extensions, n  for none.)
@echo EXAMPLE myusername mydomain .com y 
@goto end
