Bulk creating DNS records

Recently I needed to create tens of DNS records. This little script automates the creation of DNS records.

The scripts reads a csv file which contains the hostname and the according IP address. This information is used to launch dnscmd which creates the DNS records in the supplied DNS zone.

 1
 2$DnsServer = "localhost"  
 3$DnsZone = "test.demo"
 4
 5\# Load IP configuration csv file  
 6$HostIPinfo = Import-Csv -Path "C:\\Scripts\\HostIPinfo.csv"
 7
 8.
 9\# Create DNS record for every hosts  
10$HostIPinfo | ForEach-Object {  
11    dnscmd $DnsServer /RecordAdd $DnsZone $_.Server /CreatePTR A $_.Management  
12}

Csv file content
