DNS_ERROR_INVALID_ZONE_TYPE
DNS_ERROR_INVALID_ZONE_TYPE means the requested zone type is not valid in the current configuration. Primary, secondary, stub, and AD-integrated zones have different storage, transfer, and write behaviors.
What to check
- Confirm the intended design: authoritative writable primary, read-only secondary, stub referral zone, or AD-integrated zone.
- Check whether the chosen zone type is compatible with the server role and the selected storage or replication option.
- Do not use a secondary zone where write access or dynamic updates are required.
Review existing zone data before changing the type because storage, replication, and update behavior depend on the selected zone model.
