How to create DNS reverse lookup zone in Windows Server 2012 r2?

Why do we create reverse lookup zone?

The reason to create reverse lookup zone is for a DNS server, when your.

own domain name is stored in the cache of a DNS server, if you query the. Same DNS server using your own domain name, the DNS server will reply. With your own IP address. But when you query the DNS server using the domain name that you registered, the DNS server will reply with your. Registered domain name, then you can check whether your domain name is. In the cache of the DNS server or not. In order to get the IP address of the registered domain name, a DNS. Server has to do some work to get the IP address. But in the case that you register your own domain name, you do not have to do that. For example, we register www.jianshu.com, but our domain name is
Jianshu. When you query www.com, the DNS server will reply
With jianshu.com, then we can know that the IP address of www.com
Is jianshu. We do not have to get the IP address of www.

This is the purpose of creating reverse lookup zone. So we will create a reverse lookup zone for jianshu. The name of the reverse lookup zone is: jianshu.vip.

>nslookup jianshu. Server: 0.1

Address: 1#53. >

And this is the reply: Non-authoritative answer: 23.132.193
193#53. A query for: would find that the record is. A record of name "jianshu.com" has address 1.193, and an A record of name "www.

How do I create a reverse lookup zone for IPv6?

I am working with IPv6 on Windows Server 2024 R2 and have a few zones that I would like to be able to reverse lookup.

I've seen a few articles on the interwebs and have created the following CNAME records: v6-1.domain.com. IN CNAME ipv6-1.

However, when I perform a reverse lookup on ipv6-1.com, I get an NXDOMAIN reply. Do I need to do anything else to get this to work? I've also tried adding the following lines to the root.zone file:
Ipv6-1. IN NS ns1.

But I get a response that looks like this: ; <<>> DiG 9.7.3-P1 <<>> ipv6-1. IN A
;; AUTHORITY SECTION: domain. 21699 IN SOA ns1. Name.

How to create DNS reverse lookup zone in Windows Server 2012 r2?

I have a windows server 2012r2 installed and configured and now I need to create a DNS reverse lookup zone for a particular website IP address.

I have searched the internet for several days but can't find any reference that contains how to do it. I have to manually edit the files and add records or can I write a script in batch or something? Please help.

Thank you. As the Microsoft documentation (at the bottom of the page) states; you will need to use a command line tool. I wrote a PowerShell script that should do this for you. It uses a batch file that calls a PowerShell script called New-ReverseLookupZone.ps1 which is a script I have just written that does this. You'll need to update the IP Address you want to check for, the hostnames in a file, the domain and if desired you can set the TTL and your DNS Server's A records and you're done. This could be run from a batch script and called as the command line tool.

You can call the batch file as a command line tool. To do this simply change your .bat file to .cmd file extension.

Copy and paste the code below to your Windows 10 .cmd file: @echo off. Title New Reverse Lookup Zone (This was used for my testing). Echo Start creating the reverse lookup zones. D:testNew-ReverseLookupZone.ps1 Pause. Close out of Windows Update: wusa /flushcache. Exit out of WUSA/FLUSH: Exit /b. Save the batch file and double click on it and when prompted save the .cmd file to a location like C:programfileswindowssystem32cmd.exe and then you can right click on the new cmd file and choose Run As Administrator to let it run.

Run your test for a couple of minutes and check to see if the DNS data has been updated. Run this code to update the hostname and IP address you are testing with (note the -T option sets the TTL to only update once and the -u option sets the user account that will run it): powershell.exe -c "New-ReverseLookupZone -T 1200 -u administrator -H 192.168.
