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.
