How can I check what AD DNS Partitions my AD DNS server holds ?

 

dnscmd /EnumDirectoryPartitions which is a command line utility installed on a windows dns server. It will output

Example Output

Enumerated directory partition list:

Directory partition count = 2

DomainDnsZones.domain.local Enlisted Auto Domain

ForestDnsZones.domain.local Enlisted Auto Forest

Command completed successfully.

If you want more information about a zone then you can use the command :

dnscmd /DirectoryPartitionInfo DomainDnsZones.domain.local /detail

Example Output:

Directory partition info:

DNS root: DomainDnsZones.domain.local

Flags: 0x15 Enlisted Auto Domain

State: 0

Zone count: 3

DP head: DC=DomainDnsZones,DC=domain,DC=local
