Looks to me like the DNS component was not configured in IPA so all the
dns-* commands will fail.


Well I mentioned that we are using the university’s DNS rather than a 
dedicated DNS server on the FreeIPA Fedora server. Where do I 
configure that in the GUI? Since our department does not have 
authority over the ouruniversity.edu  domain 
I figured it was best to use their’s red resolving DNS.





Hello,
you cannot use ipa dns* commands without integrated IPA DNS installed

to add DNS records you have to use the standard way your university 
system provides.

I'd move these two ipa env commands out of the loop. These values won't
change and will just work to slow down the import.
