Bulk Switch DNS timestamps to static
Hello. Some servers inside my domain are experiencing DNS failures due to expiration in DNS records. It would demand a huge downtime to check and update them to static on more than 8000 records among computers and printers as well. Is there a way to bulk switch all of them to static? Or at least deselect the option "Delete this record when it becomes stale" option? I have bred a PowerShell line that lists the registers: Get-DnsRecord -Filter "TimeStamp<>0" -RecordType A > dnsWithTimeStamp.csv but nothing to change them so far. Thanks in advance. - David

Hi, It is impossible. I'd like to suggest to export the records as a .txt file, delete the dynamic records in the mmc console, and then, modify them via the script such as: Add-DnsServerResourceRecordA -ZoneName msftncsi.com -Name www -IPv4Address 131.107.0.1.
