Creating a series of DNS records

When standing up a new grid or cluster, static DNS records are often required. This example script will add A and in-arpa records for 20 hosts (ava-ks-1 to ava-ks-20) and map sequential, even-numbered, IP addresses starting with 10.111.160.40.

	#requires -Version 4 -Modules DnsServer
	$hostnameprefix = 'ava-ks-'
	$ipnetstring = '10.111.160.'
	$zonename = 'avamar.contoso.com'
	$targetdnsserver = 'USKSDC2.Contoso.com'
	(1..20).ForEach({Add-DnsServerResourceRecord -A -IPv4Address "$($ipnetstring)$(($_+19)*2)" -Name "$($hostnameprefix)$($_)" -ZoneName $zonename -CreatePtr -ComputerName $targetdnsserver})
