So I've discovered something with a powershell cmdlet that, while it's working,
doesn't return the data that I think it should, or that it needs to. Is MS
support the only avenue in to ask about it?
When I have a subnet delegated to a subdomain Resolve-DnsName doesn't return
everything that nslookup does. Names and ip addresses have been changed to
protect the innocent.
> Resolve-dnsname -name 86.17.172.in-addr.arpa. -server my.dns.server -type ALL
Resolve-DnsName : 86.17.172.in-addr.arpa. : DNS server failure
At line:1 char:1
+ Resolve-DnsName -Name 86.17.172.in-addr.arpa. -server my.dns.server
