DNS_ERROR_RCODE_NXRRSET

DNS_ERROR_RCODE_NXRRSET means an update expected a particular resource-record set to exist, but the server could not find it. This can occur after record cleanup, concurrent updates, or a request aimed at the wrong zone or record type.

What to check

  • Verify the owner name, zone, and record type used by the update request.
  • Check whether scavenging, DHCP, or another administrative process removed the record before the update arrived.
  • Retry only after confirming that the record should exist and that the update sequence is correct.
Get-DnsServerResourceRecord -ZoneName "contoso.com" -Name "host"
