DNS_ERROR_NOT_ALLOWED_WITH_ZONESCOPES

DNS_ERROR_NOT_ALLOWED_WITH_ZONESCOPES means the requested zone operation is incompatible with a zone that already has alternate zone scopes. Zone scopes change how the DNS server stores and selects records, so some legacy-style operations are deliberately blocked.

What to verify

  • Identify all scopes and policies attached to the zone before changing zone-level settings.
  • Check whether the operation can be performed against a specific scope rather than the zone as a whole.
  • Do not remove scopes only to force an operation through; first evaluate the policy behavior that depends on them.
Get-DnsServerZoneScope -ZoneName "example.com"
Get-DnsServerQueryResolutionPolicy -ZoneName "example.com"
