DNS_ERROR_INVALID_XML
DNS_ERROR_INVALID_XML means a DNSSEC-related operation received XML that is empty or syntactically invalid. The error is commonly about imported configuration, trust-anchor data, or a management interface payload rather than the zone records themselves.
Preserve the XML payload and validate it independently before retrying the DNS operation. If the document is produced by automation, compare it with a known working export so malformed escaping, encoding, or missing elements are visible.
What to check
- Identify the XML source and retain the original file or response for validation.
- Check encoding, truncation, escaping, and whether the payload belongs to the correct zone or signing workflow.
- Recreate the configuration through supported DNS Server cmdlets rather than hand-editing serialized metadata.
