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.

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.

If there is anything unclearly, please visit the network forum to get a better resolution:
