[dns-operations] What's New in DNS Server in Windows Server Technical Preview

[Kumar Ashutosh]

Functionality

New or Improved

Description

DNS Policies

New

You can configure DNS policies to specify how a DNS server responds to DNS queries. DNS responses can be based on client IP address (location), time of the day, and several other parameters. DNS policies enable location-aware DNS, traffic management, load balancing, split-brain DNS, and other scenarios.

New DNS records

New

You can now create Transport Layer Security Authentication (TLSA), and unknown records in DNS to support different DNS scenarios.

Windows PowerShell support

Improved

New Windows PowerShell cmdlets are available for DNS Server.


Highlights:
Policies with its Powershell interface
DANE support
Support to add unknown records (add new records or old unsupported records like SPF via unknown records API. You have to provide data in hexadecimal format)
