DNS_ERROR_DEFAULT_ZONESCOPE

DNS_ERROR_DEFAULT_ZONESCOPE means the operation received the default zone scope where it requires a custom scope, or attempted an operation that is not valid for the default scope.

What to verify

  • The default scope is created automatically with the zone; do not try to recreate or remove it.
  • For split-brain or geo-location policies, create and reference a separate named zone scope for the alternate answer set.
  • Inspect the exact scope used by the policy rather than assuming the zone name identifies a custom scope.
Get-DnsServerZoneScope -ZoneName "example.com"
Get-DnsServerQueryResolutionPolicy -ZoneName "example.com"
