Creating Bulk DNS Records with PowerShell

PowerShell is a great tool for managing your repetitive tasks with DNS records. In this example I will show you how you can bulk import DNS records to Windows DNS servers.

1. Populate a CSV with your device names and IP’s
   
2. In PowerShell, import your CSV with the devices and IPs:

   #Import CSV
   $devices = Import-Csv "\\ServerPath\devices.csv"

   3. Loop through the devices and create the DNS records

   foreach($device in $devices)
   {       
         #the following line creates the DNS record with the device name and IP from the imported CSV
         Add-DnsServerResourceRecordA -Name $device.name -ZoneName "yourdomain.com" -AllowUpdateAny -IPv4Address $device.ip -TimeToLive 01:00:00
   }
