I need to add another forward lookup zone that has about 100 entries. I was sent a .dns file but cant figure out how to do it. Currently everything is using 2008 R2 AD integrated, secure only, to all domain controllers in the domain.
I've seen some say add the file to the "%SystemDir%\System32\dns" folder. etc etc but this doesn't exist since I am AD integrated.
I thought I could add it using dnscmd and then change it to AD integrated from the GUI once done but I seem to have issues with that as well. I usually get a "Command Failed:Error_Invalid_paremeter 87 0x57 so I am probably not doing it correctly.
If this is even the correct way, Ive tried along these lines from 1 dc
c:\dnscmd localhost /zoneadd new1_add.help.com /primary /file filesent.com.dns /load
c:\dnscmd localhost /zoneadd new1_add.help.com /primary /file filesent.com.dns /load /DP domaindnszones.domainname.com
Am I even close? I just want the new1_add.help.com to show up under my current forward lookup zone that I can then right click on and change Type, Replication, and Update method on.
Thx
