6. ADIDNS
To search for a specific DNS zone, type it in the field and hit ENTER:
Otherwise, just leave it blank to search all entries in ADIDNS (it may take longer depending on the size of the environment):
The right panel shows the records of the selected DNS node, or the properties of the selected DNS zone. In ADIDNS, DNS zones hold DNS nodes (which are usually a subdomain of the zone), and DNS nodes themselves hold different types of records for that subdomain (such as A, CNAME, TXT, etc).
To create a new zone, select the root of the tree and use the Ctrl+N keybinding:
The mandatory NameServer and AdminEmail parameters will be used to fill the initial NS and SOA records for the @ domain of the zone, which seem to be required for the zone to synchronize to the DNS service.
To delete an ADIDNS zone, select it in the tree and hit Delete:
To modify a DNS node' records, select it in the tree and hit Ctrl+E to open the Update ADIDNS Node page.
In the Records Preview panel, you can remove existing records from the node by selecting it and hitting Delete. To add a new record to the preview, type the required values in the Record Contents panel and click on Add To Preview:
The nodes' records will be updated after you click the Update button.
A DNS node itself along with all of its records can be deleted by selecting it in the tree and hitting Delete:
godap can export all zones, nodes and records after a successful search. Just select the object (zone/node) you want to export and hit Ctrl+S, and it will export all information about the objects below it. To export all found ADIDNS information, select the root node and hit Ctrl+S.
- NXT records are not currently supported - I didn't figure out how to decode them and the guidance from Microsoft didn't help much :-/
- All other record types from MS-DNSP are supported for visualization, but only
A,AAAA,CNAME,TXT,NS,SOA,SRV,MX,PTR,MD,MF,MB,MG,MR,DNAMEandHINFOrecords can be created currently.
