DNS_ERROR_NOT_ALLOWED_ON_SIGNED_ZONE

DNS_ERROR_NOT_ALLOWED_ON_SIGNED_ZONE means the requested change is incompatible with the current DNSSEC state of the zone. A signed zone or a zone that already has signing keys has additional integrity constraints that ordinary unsigned-zone operations do not have.

What to check

  • Verify whether the zone is signed and inspect its DNSSEC settings before changing its type, signing parameters, or DNSSEC-related metadata.
  • Determine whether the intended operation needs a documented DNSSEC workflow, such as key rollover or unsigning the zone.
  • Do not remove DNSKEY, RRSIG, NSEC, or NSEC3 records by hand to bypass the restriction.
