When was a DNS Zone created?
Rob | August 9, 2011This week I wanted to find out when an Active Directory domain integrated forward lookup zone was created. It had been configured to replicate to all DNS servers in the domain.
Initially I thought I might be able to retrieve this information using DNSCmd with the /ZoneInfo switch, alas this is not one of the attributes. Instead, I had to use ADSIEdit by connecting to the following distinguished name:
DC=DomainDNSZones,DC=domain,DC=com
On reviewing the properties, I was able to see the date the zone was created.
N.B. If the zone was replicated around the forest, I could have used DC=ForestDNSZones,DC=Domain,DC=com instead.
