There are a number of WhoIs scripts knocking around, this is my version. Something of a long development cycle since I started this last year, got busy, then finished it today.

A friend of mine found this enormously useful, one of the things PowerShell can do easily that is (apparently) helpful for people who want nothing to do with it otherwise (where it may be either PowerShell or Windows).

Sorting an array of IP addresses is one of those things that’s not quite as clean and simple as would be nice.

I’ve been extended and upgrading my library of network functions for some time now, I thought I’d post the functions that work directly with my original collection.

It’s been a while since I’ve posted, and since it’s almost Christmas I thought I’d better get on with it.
Without further ado I want to post NetShell (I’m not very good at coming up with imaginative names). NetShell is a collection of 17 functions and a few supporting functions in a script module.
After fixing a couple of authentication bugs with Set-DnsRecord and New-DnsRecord I decided to make an attempt to finish off some of the zone and server CmdLets.
The module now contains these additional CmdLets.
- Refresh-DnsZone – Implements the ForceRefresh method for Secondary Zones
- Reload-ADDnsZone – Implements the UpdateFromDS method for AD Integrated Zones
- Reload-DnsZone
- Reset-DnsZoneType – Implements the ChangeZoneType method
- Resume-DnsZone
- Set-DnsZoneTransfer – Implements the ResetSecondaries method
- Start-DnsScavenging
- Start-DnsService
- Stop-DnsService
- Suspend-DnsZone – Implements the Pause method
- Update-DnsZoneFile
As usual, the module can be downloaded from code.msdn.microsoft.com/dnsshell.
A new version of DnsShell has been released, this release improves Get-ADDnsRecord and adds Get-ADDnsPartition and Get-ADDnsZone.
The updated release is available on MSDN as version 0.2.0.
code.msdn.microsoft.com/dnsshell
Basic help is available for each of the new CmdLets.
DnsShell is my PowerShell module intended to help administer MS DNS. This is an alpha relaese, it may contain bugs, it should be tested in a safe environment first.
The module is currently available on MSDN.
The following CmdLets are implemented at this stage:
- Get-Dns
- Clear-DnsCache
- Get-DnsRecord
- Get-DnsServer
- Get-DnsZone
- New-DnsRecord
- New-DnsZone
- Remove-DnsObject
- Set-DnsRecord
- Get-ADDnsRecord
I am in the process of writing detailed CmdLet help, it will be made available as soon as possible.
