RE: [ActiveDir] Identify STATIC records in AD DNS

[Deji Akomolafe]

Have you tried parsing the output of "dnscmd DNSServerName /ZonePrint ZoneName /Detail" ?

 

Records without scavenging timestamp will have the following clue: "dwTimeStamp  = 0 ([ 0: 0: 0] [ 1/ 1/1601])"

Subject: [ActiveDir] Identify STATIC records in AD DNS

Hi there,

Does anyone know of a way to programmatically identify STATIC records within
an AD integrated DNS zone?

The DNS manager gui can show if a record has a timestamp or not, but with
100's of thousands of records you can't check them all.

I've looked for a property I can search on using ADSI or WMI, but have not
found anything consistent.

The closest I found is the AD property dnsIsTombstoned.  It appears to have
3 values:

TRUE = Already tombstoned and will be replicated
FALSE = Not tombstoned yet, but can be
<not set> = Will not be scavenged.

This is not 100% though, so I think I am missing something else.

Thanks,

Jef Kazimer
