Purpose of this cmdlet:
The Add-DnsServerResourceRecordCName cmdlet lets you add a CNAME (Canonical Name) resource record to a specific DNS zone. The CNAME record enables you to use multiple resource records to refer to a single host.
Example:
Add-DnsServerResourceRecordCName -Name "testserver1" -HostNameAlias
"srv1.lab.abc.com" -ZoneName "abc.com"
The above command adds a canonical name resource record with the alias testserver1 to the abc.com domain for the server1 system in lab.abc.com zone.
