DNS_ERROR_POLICY_SCOPE_MISSING

DNS_ERROR_POLICY_SCOPE_MISSING means the selected policy action requires a target scope or zone scope, but the policy configuration did not supply one.

What to verify

  • Confirm the requested action and whether it should return records from a named zone scope.
  • Create and populate the required zone scope before attaching it to a policy.
  • Keep a usable default answer path for queries that do not match the policy.
Get-DnsServerZoneScope -ZoneName "example.com"
Get-DnsServerQueryResolutionPolicy -ZoneName "example.com"
