Purpose of this cmdlet:
The Add-DnsServerResourceRecordPtr cmdlet lets you add a specified pointer record (PTR) to a specified DNS zone.
Example:
Add-DnsServerResourceRecordPtr -Name "17" -ZoneName "x.xxx.xxx.in-addr.arpa"
-AllowUpdateAny -TimeToLive 01:00:00 -AgeRecord -PtrDomainName "host01.abc.com"
The above command adds a type PTR DNS record in the abc.com zone. The record maps the IP address xxx.xxx.x.17 to the name host01.abc.com. As the command includes the AgeRecord parameter, the record can be scavenged by a DNS server.
