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.
