DNS_ERROR_RECORD_DOES_NOT_EXIST
DNS_ERROR_RECORD_DOES_NOT_EXIST means the target DNS resource record is absent. Verify the exact zone, owner name, and record type first; the same host can have A, AAAA, PTR, CNAME, and service records in different zones.
What to check
- Query the authoritative zone for the exact owner name and record type.
- Check whether the record was removed by dynamic update, scavenging, or a management script.
- Create a record only after confirming its correct data and ownership; a missing record can be an expected state during deprovisioning.
