Parameters
Description
<servername>
Specifies the DNS server to manage, represented by IP address, FQDN, or host name. If this parameter is omitted, the local server is used.
<zonename>
Specifies the name of the zone to be refreshed.
<servername>
<zonename>
Remarks
The zonerefresh command forces a check of the version number in the primary server s start of authority (SOA) resource record. If the version number on the primary server is higher than the secondary server's version number, a zone transfer is initiated that updates the secondary server. If the version number is the same, no zone transfer occurs.
The forced check occurs by default every 15 minutes. To change the default, use the dnscmd config refreshinterval command.
dnscmd config refreshinterval

dnscmd dnssvr1.contoso.com /zonerefresh test.contoso.com
