		<description>Excellent presentation, and a great script, thanks!

I wanted to have it create a reverse DNS (PTR) record as well, so I did the following mod:

[ps]# Add A DNS Entry for our server
$DNSSRV = &quot;VIRTUDC.Virtu-al.local&quot;
$DNSWMIA = [wmiclass]&quot;\\$DNSSRV\root\MicrosoftDNS:MicrosoftDNS_AType&quot;
$DNSWMIPTR = [wmiclass]&quot;\\$DNSSRV\root\MicrosoftDNS:MicrosoftDNS_PTRType&quot;
$zone = &quot;virtu-al.local&quot;
$name = &quot;VIRTUESX4.virtu-al.local&quot;
$class = 1
$ttl = 3600
$address = &quot;192.168.0.6&quot;
$octets = $address.split(&#039;.&#039;)
$DNSWMIA.CreateInstanceFromPropertydata($DNSSRV, $zone, $name, $class, $ttl, $address) &#124; Out-Null
$DNSWMIPTR.CreateInstanceFromPropertydata($DNSSRV, $octets[0]+&quot;.in-addr.arpa.&quot;, $octets[3]+&quot;.&quot;+$octets[2]+&quot;.&quot;+$octets[1]+&quot;.&quot;+$octets[0]+&quot;.in-addr.arpa&quot;, $class, $ttl, $name) &#124; Out-Null[/ps]

However, this doesn&#039;t feel very tidy (and you need an extra WMI object), so I prefer to use CreateInstanceFromTextRepresentation to create the Resource Records, as shown below:

[ps]# Add A DNS Entry for our server
$DNSSRV = &quot;VIRTUDC.Virtu-al.local&quot;
$DNSWMI = [wmiclass]&quot;\\$DNSSRV\root\MicrosoftDNS:MicrosoftDNS_ResourceRecord&quot;
$zone = &quot;virtu-al.local&quot;
$name = &quot;VIRTUESX4.virtu-al.local&quot;
$class = 1
$ttl = 3600
$address = &quot;192.168.0.6&quot;
$octets = $address.split(&#039;.&#039;)
$FwdRR = $name + &quot; IN A $address&quot; # Forward Resource Record (A)
$DNSWMI.CreateInstanceFromTextRepresentation($DNSSRV, $zone, $FwdRR) &#124; Out-Null
$ReverseRR = $octets[3]+&quot;.&quot;+$octets[2]+&quot;.&quot;+$octets[1]+&quot; IN PTR $name&quot; # Reverse Resource Record (PTR)
$ReverseZone = $octets[0]+&quot;.in-addr.arpa.&quot; # Reverse Zone name
$DNSWMI.CreateInstanceFromTextRepresentation($DNSSRV, $ReverseZone, $ReverseRR) &#124; Out-Null[/ps]

Keep up the good work!</description>
