Gday Guys,
I have put going on a forum for 5 years now to avoid being a public nuisance. Sorry I finally had to ask stupid questions now.
My issue is around doing a simple powershell line. I am not trained and sadly its hard to get my head around.
If I do Resolve-dnsname -name "http://inranetname/subname/pages/subname%20.aspx", on an intranet site, it complains of an invalid DNS name containing invalid characters. Sadly I cant put in the website names in, as its for a business, but "intranetname" and "subname" are just English lexicon, no special characters there.
I tried doing quotations, and without, also simply Resolve-dnsname "http://inranetname/subname/pages/subname%20.aspx" but they all say the same thing.
All i want to do an nslookup but I don't have CMD prompt in our environment and I'm finally taking the plunge into PS.

Hi,
>>I tried doing quotations, and without, also simply Resolve-dnsname "http://inranetname/subname/pages/subname%20.aspx" but they all say the same thing.
The Resolve-DnsName cmdlet performs a DNS query for the specified name.
“http: …”, this is not a specified name. This is a URL.
You can refer this picture:
To resolve DNS name, you need to enter FQDN or DNS records.
For example, FQDN: www.google.com.
For more details, you can refer the following article:
FQDN: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/dns/naming-conventions
Name resolution: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/dns/name-resolution
Hope this can help you, if you have anything unclear, please let me know.
Best Regards,
Ellen
