Can't delete or change wins entry in Dns

Question

_{Tuesday, January 7, 2020 11:33 PM}

Hi ,

we have migrated from windows 2008R2 to windows 2016.

There is an wins entry for the old dc, which we can't delete.

Tried it with
Remove-DNSServerResourceRecord -ZoneName domain.local -Force -RRtype "WINS" -Name "ipadress".
Used also fqdn

Gives an error.

"+ CategoryInfo          : ObjectNotFound: (DC:root/Microsoft/...rResourceRecord) [.Remove-DnsServerResourceRecor
d], CimException
 + FullyQualifiedErrorId : WIN32 9714,Remove-DnsServerResourceRecord"

Don't wanna delete the zone, as suggested in another posting.

Any other options?

Hi,

Did you want to delete the WINS lookup record in DNS?

Would you please post the entry or record you want to delete? This will make it easy for us to offer further assistance.

I suggest you try to remove it by unticking the option ‘Use wins forward lookup’ on the WINS TAB first.

If it still doesn’t work, please refer to the following steps:

I have created such a wins record in my DNS Server and deleted it with the following command.

Hope this can help you, if you have anything unclear, please let me know.

Have a nice day!

Allan

Nope,

can't untick the option. It gives me"Information for wins can't be updated bla bla:invalid entry format".

Can't enter another ip adress. Same error

Already tried the ps command.No success.See first Message.

Tried the ps command again.And it works :-)

I think made the mistake with the @ symbol.
