DNS_ERROR_INVALID_ZONESCOPE_NAME

DNS_ERROR_INVALID_ZONESCOPE_NAME indicates that the proposed zone-scope name does not meet DNS naming requirements or conflicts with the parent zone naming rules.

What to verify

  • Use a stable, DNS-compatible scope name and avoid copying an arbitrary display label into the scope field.
  • Do not use the parent zone name as the new scope name.
  • Keep the same names across DNS servers that must serve the same policy design.
Get-DnsServerZoneScope -ZoneName "example.com"
Get-DnsServerQueryResolutionPolicy -ZoneName "example.com"
