Hi,

Thanks for your question.

I did the same test in my environment and everything worked fine.
I suspect that there is a problem with the zonescope "guests". I recommend you to recreate the zonescope.

Please refer to the link below:

I can't. Cmdlet fails with unknown error.

Can secondary zone have a scope?

I vaguely remember this is my case. Zone domain.tld had been primary with guests scope for some time, then I deleted the zone and recreated it as secondary zone. Scope probably didn't get deleted and now it's stucked in nowhere. It does not show any records but they're resolved as they had been configured.

Hi,

Based on my knowledge, you can't do any operation to secondary zone.

Because the content of secondary zone is transferred from primary zone.

Best regards,
