RE: [ActiveDir] Create a buttload of DNS zones with PERL
Here is another option to create a buttload of DNS zones. This will work with Primary Secondary, not AD integrated. Change your DNS server option: Load DNS data on startup from Active Directory and Registry to from file. This will create a boot file. Edit the boot file with the zone and the file name for that zone. Create the zones files, via VBS or manually. Start the zones, to ensure they all launch. Errors are logged in the event log. Once all zones load, change it back to Active Directory and Registry Hope this helps --EP -Original Message- From: Hutchins, Mike [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, October 15, 2002 4:01 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Create a buttload of DNS zones with PERL Primary/secondary -Original Message- From: Parker, Edward [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, October 15, 2002 1:07 PM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Create a buttload of DNS zones with PERL Are they Active Directory integrated or primary/secondary? -Original Message- From: Hutchins, Mike [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, October 15, 2002 1:24 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [ActiveDir] Create a buttload of DNS zones with PERL If anyone out there has any info on if this is possible, let me know.

RE: [ActiveDir] Create a buttload of DNS zones with PERL
Hi Mike, I still wouldn't suggest using the DNS WMI provider on W2K, although if you only wanted to create zones you could probably get by with it. You could script around dnscmd.exe or just use the DnsCmd.pm module I included in the book, which should get the job done. BTW, the DNS WMI provider on .NET is very solid and exactly what we've been needing as far as a DNS API for the Windows DNS server.

The book doesn't say it WON'T work (there are actually a few examples) but that it (the DNS WMI provider only) is unreliable. This has been apparently fixed in .NET..
