Update/Reload DNS Zone Records 1

[a6m1n0]

Hello,
I am working on an ASP script that modifies DNS records so I do not have to do this manually. A problem I anticipate is forcing the DNS service to update and reload the zone records.

The server is a workgroup server, and I have a IIS website only accessible via localhost with a user that is in the Administrators Group, allowing ASP scripts access to things that typicaly you can't access from IIS.

Would I need to use WMI for this? If so does anyone know of any examples for this? I don't want to just restart the DNS service...I would like to interface with the DNS server itself if at all possible. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Very useful resources. Looks like the command I am looking for is:

dnscmd [servername] /zonereload sub.domain.tld

I will reply again with some code when it's complete.

Thanks,

Thanks Chris....don't know why I didn't think to look there. Still not finished with the code, but I will make good on my promise.
