DNS_ERROR_RECORD_FORMAT
DNS_ERROR_RECORD_FORMAT means a resource record could not be accepted because its data does not match the syntax or structure required for its record type. Validate the type-specific data rather than assuming the owner name alone is the problem.
What to check
- Confirm the requested record type and validate its data fields, such as address, target name, priority, port, or text value.
- Compare the record with an existing valid record of the same type in a controlled zone.
- Use DNS Server cmdlets that model record data explicitly instead of constructing raw text records when possible.
