DNS_ERROR_NOT_ALLOWED_ON_ACTIVE_SKD

DNS_ERROR_NOT_ALLOWED_ON_ACTIVE_SKD means the requested action cannot be applied to a signing-key descriptor while that key is active. Active keys participate in the zone's current validation chain.

What to check

  • Inspect the key state and current rollover schedule.
  • Use the supported lifecycle transition to move the key out of the active state before changing or removing it.
  • For a KSK, account for parent DS records and resolver caches before making any transition.
