In the VBScript code, the query on line 12 will fail with a “Table does not exist” error unless “LDAP” is in upper case.

Otherwise, thanks for this, saved me an hour writing it from scratch.

These functions have proven supremely useful – I’ve automated a tedious firewall object provisioning process based on your work.. Thanks for sharing!

Rather thank dot-sourcing, I’ve made a Module from the file by adding ” Export-ModuleMember -Function * ” and saving the script as a .psm1 file in the system Modules directory.

Comment on About by Jason Stangroome

Hi,

I had a look at DnsShell. I like the idea but I’m concerned by the fact that it is compiled to target version 4 of the .NET Framework and therefore CLR v4. The standard PowerShell engine is built to work with CLR v2 only and while there are tricks to get it to be able to load .NET 4 assemblies, this isn’t ideal if you want to use the DnsShell module across several machines in several environments.

It appears the DnsShell source compiles fine if the project properties are changed to target .NET 3.5 so this should probably be done until either DnsShell is dependent on a .NET 4 feature or PowerShell officially supports .NET 4.

Regards,

Jason

Hi Chris,

Just tried this out, a really useful script, saves me having to download wireshark to find out where those rogue DHCP services are running from!! I’ve found DHCP servers running on printers in my time, so a really nice script.

We can also enable and disable the global query block list using the following commands:

1.To check whether the global query block is enabled, type the following:
dnscmd /info /enableglobalqueryblocklist

2.To display the host names in the current block list, type the following:
dnscmd /info /globalqueryblocklist

3.To disable the block list and ensure that the DNS Server service does not ignore queries for names in the block list, type the following:
dnscmd /config /enableglobalqueryblocklist 0

4.To enable the block list and ensure that the DNS Server service ignores queries for names in the block list, type the following:
dnscmd /config /enableglobalqueryblocklist 0

5.To remove all names from the block list, type the following:
dnscmd /config /globalqueryblocklist

6.To replace the current block list with a list of the names that you specify, type the following:
dnscmd /config /globalqueryblocklist name [name]…
