Generic failure is being returned by the WMI interface, difficult to determine the cause unless I can reproduce it. I’ll have a look and see what can be done as soon as I have a moment or two.

Hi there,

I have an issue with this great module when deleting some DNS-Records.
The intention of the “Script” I’m writing is to get all KMS-Hosts within my DNS-Zone and delete some of them because they people in my domain use wrong KMS-Keys.

PS C:\Temp> get-DnsRecord -Server framsdc32.labmagna.global -ZoneName labmagna.global -RecordType SRV -Name _VLMCS

Name RecordType TTL RecordData TimeStamp
—- ———- — ———- ———
_VLMCS._tcp.labmagna… SRV 3600 0 0 1688 framsdc01.m… Static

PS C:\Temp> get-DnsRecord -Server framsdc32.labmagna.global -ZoneName labmagna.global -RecordType SRV -Name _VLMCS | Remove-DnsObject

Confirm
Remove-DnsObject will delete _VLMCS._tcp.labmagna.global
[Y] Yes [A] Yes to All [N] No [L] No to All [S] Suspend [?] Help (default is “Y”): y
Remove-DnsObject : Generic failure
At line:1 char:122
+ get-DnsRecord -Server framsdc32.labmagna.global -ZoneName labmagna.global -RecordType SRV -Name _VLMCS | Remove-DnsOb
ject <<<

The problem is – as far as I see – that get-DnsRecord doesn’t deliver the correct Data. Or let’s say it delivers the correct data in the wrong attribute :-/

Can somebody please help me with that issue?

Kind regards,
Philipp

Thanks Ray, I’ll try and get to the bottom of that one.

I have DnsShell 0.4.2 working on a Windows 7 64-bit workstation, but cannot get it to work on Server 2008 R2.

Importing the module succeeds, but running get-dns fails with:

Get-Dns : The system detected an invalid pointer address in attempting to use a pointer argument in a call
At line:1 char:8
+ get-dns <<<<
+ CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (:) [Get-Dns], SocketException

Great site, and module! Keep up the good work. We mentioned your project on a recent podcast, hope it gets you a few more hits.
