To add a new DNS record on a Windows Server 2022 using PowerShell, you can use the Add-DnsServerResourceRecord cmdlet. Here is a step-by-step guide:

1. Open PowerShell with Administrator privileges:

   • Right-click the Start button and select “Windows PowerShell (Admin)”.

2. Use the Add-DnsServerResourceRecord cmdlet:

   • The syntax for adding a DNS A record is as follows:

     
     Add-DnsServerResourceRecordA -Name "<RecordName>" -ZoneName "<ZoneName>" -IPv4Address "<IPAddress>" 

   • Replace <RecordName> with the name of the DNS record you want to add.

   • Replace <ZoneName> with the name of your DNS zone (e.g., “example.com“).

   • Replace <IPAddress> with the IP address associated with the DNS record.

3. Example:

   • To add an A record for test.example.com with an IP address of 192.168.1.100 in the example.com zone, you would run:

     
     Add-DnsServerResourceRecordA -Name "test" -ZoneName "example.com" -IPv4Address "192.168.1.100" 

4. Confirm the record:

   • You can confirm that the DNS record has been added successfully by querying the DNS server. Use the Resolve-DnsName cmdlet to check the record:

     
     Resolve-DnsName test.example.com 

This command should return the IP address 192.168.1.100 if the record was added correctly.
