Parameters
Description

<nodename>
Specifies a name of the host.
<rrtype>

/f
Executes the command without asking for confirmation. Because nodes can have more than one resource record, this command requires you to be very specific about the type of resource record that you want to delete. If you specify a data type and you do not specify a type of resource record data, all records with that specific data type for the specified node are deleted.
<servername>
<zonename>
<nodename>
<rrtype>
<rrdata>
Examples
dnscmd /recorddelete test.contoso.com test MX 10 mailserver.test.contoso.com
dnscmd /resetforwarders command
Selects or resets the IP addresses to which the DNS server forwards DNS queries when it cannot resolve them locally.
Syntax
dnscmd [<servername>] /resetforwarders <IPaddress> [,<IPaddress>]...][/timeout <timeout>] [/slave | /noslave]
