To create the AAAA record with Windows PowerShell, use the
Add-DnsServerResourceRecordAAAA cmdlet. For example:
Add-DnsServerResourceRecordAAAA -ZoneName "TreyResearch.net" `
-Name trey-srv-14 `
-IPv6Address 2001:db8::0e `
-CreatePtr
You can also use the more general Add-DnsServerResourceRecord cmdlet to create the
record. For example:
Add-DnsServerResourceRecord -ZoneName "TreyResearch.net" `
-AAAA `
-Name trey-srv-14 `
-IPv6Address 2001:db8::0e `
-CreatePtr
Both Windows PowerShell cmdlets create the exact same record and produce no output
unless you include the -PassThru parameter. If you do include that, you see this:
HostName RecordType Timestamp TimeToLive RecordData
-------- ---------- --------- ---------- ----------
trey-srv-14 AAAA 0 01:00:00 2001:db8::e
Creating CNaMe resource records
The CNAME resource record is a canonical record that adds an additional host name

and provides an alternative name for that host name. DNS clients query the DNS server
