How to get the total records in my DNS SERVER (windows Server 2003)

Hi Pros,

How can i get the total records in my DNS Server (Windows Server 2003 - Active Directory Environment)

Is it possible to get this information via Powershell/wmi ?

Thanks.

• So far i used this with Powershell:

  & "d:\AdminTools\SupportTools\Windows2003\dnscmd.exe" SERVERDNS /enumrecords domain.local . > output.txt
  gc output.txt | measure-object | select count
  

  Any suggestions ?

• How about a simple batch file...

  @Echo Off
  rem Enter the location of the Windows Support Tools below
  set @SupportToolsLoc=c:\Program Files\Support Tools
  
  rem Enter the domain name you want to count below
  set @DomainName=foo.com
  
  rem Enter DNS Server Name below, or a period for the local server
  Set @DNSServer=.
  
  setlocal ENABLEDELAYEDEXPANSION
  set /a @RecordCount=0
  "%@SupportToolsLoc%\dnscmd" %@DNSServer% /enumrecords %@DomainName% . >DNSRecords.txt
  for /f "skip=1 tokens=*" %%f in ('type DNSRecords.txt') do set /a @RecordCount=!@RecordCount! + 1
  set /a @RecordCount=!@RecordCount! - 1
  If "%@DNSServer%"=="." echo There are !@RecordCount! records in the domain %@DomainName% on the local server
  If not "%@DNSServer%"=="." echo There are !@RecordCount! records in the domain %@DomainName% on the DNS Server %@DNSServer%
  pause
  del /q DNSRecords.txt
  endlocal
  

  Hope this helps,

  Glenn
