DNS_ERROR_UNKNOWN_RECORD_TYPE
DNS_ERROR_UNKNOWN_RECORD_TYPE means the requested DNS resource-record type is not recognized in the current operation. It can indicate a misspelled type, unsupported management tooling, an older server, or raw data that is being interpreted under the wrong type.
What to check
- Verify the intended DNS record type and whether the installed DNS Server version and tools support it.
- Inspect an existing record of that type through a supported query before attempting to create or edit one.
- Avoid reclassifying the data as another record type just to bypass the error.
