Purpose of this cmdlet:
The Add-DnsServerResourceRecordMX cmdlet lets you add a Mail Exchanger (MX) resource record to a DNS zone. This record provides the mail server's name for a domain and in case there are multiple records for a domain, the order or precedence is from the least to the highest value.
Example:
Add-DnsServerResourceRecordMX -Preference 10 -Name "." -TimeToLive 01:00:00 -MailExchange "mail.abc.com" -ZoneName "abc.com"
The above command adds an MX record named RecordNameMX for the zone western.abc.com
