Description

The Step-DnsServerSigningKeyRollover cmdlet rolls over a key signing key (KSK) that is waiting for an update from a parent delegation signer (DS). If a Domain Name System (DNS) server that hosts a securely delegated zone cannot check whether the DS record in a parent is updated, use this cmdlet to force a rollover.

Important: You must manually update the DS record in the parent before you run this cmdlet.

Examples

Example 1: Force a key signing key rollover

This example gets keys for a signed zone, and then forces a KSK rollover for one of the keys in the zone.

The first command uses the Get-DnsServerSigningKey cmdlet to gets keys for the signed zone Sec.Contoso.com.

Get-DnsServerSigningKey -ZoneName "Sec.Contoso.com"

Step-DnsServerSigningKeyRollover -KeyId 5fe47b29-6bf8-457a-b457-e640893ebd53 -ZoneName "Sec.Contoso.com" -Force

The last command forces a KSK rollover that is waiting for a parent DS update on Contoso.com. The command performs a KSK rollover for the specified key in the zone named Sec.Contoso.com.

Parameters

-AsJob

Runs the cmdlet as a background job. Use this parameter to run commands that take a long time to complete.

The cmdlet immediately returns an object that represents the job and then displays the command prompt. You can continue to work in the session while the job completes. To manage the job, use the *-Job cmdlets. To get the job results, use the Receive-Job cmdlet.

For more information about Windows PowerShell background jobs, see about_Jobs.

Type:SwitchParameter
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-CimSession

Runs the cmdlet in a remote session or on a remote computer. Enter a computer name or a session object, such as the output of a New-CimSession or Get-CimSession cmdlet. The default is the current session on the local computer.

Type:CimSession[]
Aliases:Session
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-ComputerName

Specifies a remote DNS server. Specify the IP address or any value that resolves to an IP address, such as a fully qualified domain name (FQDN), host name, or NETBIOS name, for the DNS server.

Type:String
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-Confirm

Prompts you for confirmation before running the cmdlet.

Type:SwitchParameter
Aliases:cf
Position:Named
Default value:False
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-Force

Forces the command to run without asking for user confirmation.

Type:SwitchParameter
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-KeyId

Specifies the ID of the key for which to perform the KSK rollover.

Type:Guid
Position:2
Default value:None
Required:True
Accept pipeline input:True
Accept wildcard characters:False

-PassThru

Returns an object representing the item with which you are working. By default, this cmdlet does not generate any output.

Type:SwitchParameter
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-ThrottleLimit

Specifies the maximum number of concurrent operations that can be established to run the cmdlet. If this parameter is omitted or a value of 0 is entered, then Windows PowerShell® calculates an optimum throttle limit for the cmdlet based on the number of CIM cmdlets that are running on the computer. The throttle limit applies only to the current cmdlet, not to the session or to the computer.

Type:Int32
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-WhatIf

Shows what would happen if the cmdlet runs. The cmdlet is not run.

Type:SwitchParameter

Type:String
Position:1
Default value:None
Required:True
Accept pipeline input:True
Accept wildcard characters:False
