    Hello!

    This is the closest I've come to finding a way to display our NS record "RecordData". Basically I'm looking for a way to purge certain NS records copied over when we migrated DNS zones from one forest to another. Do you know the syntax to display record data for NS records?

    I tried this: 

    Get-DnsServerResourceRecord -ZoneName $zone -ComputerName $DNSserver -RRType "NS" | select HostName,RecordType,Timestamp,TimeToLive,@{Name='RecordData';Expression={$_.RecordData.HostNameAlias.ToString()}} | Where {$_.RecordData -match $ComputerName}

    But unfortunately the RecordData field outputted as blank..

    Hi,

    Based on my research, you can have a try with the following demo command to remove the NS record with specific domain name.
    Get-DnsServerResourceRecord -ZoneName contoso.com -RRType Ns | Where-Object {$_.RecordData.NameServer -like '*.abc.ca.'} | 
Remove-DnsServerResourceRecord -ZoneName contoso.com -Confirm:$false

    If you need to do this for all zones, you can loop like this:
    Get-DnsServerZone | ForEach-Object {
    Get-DnsServerResourceRecord -ZoneName $_.ZoneName -RRType Ns | Where-Object {$_.RecordData.NameServer -like '*abc.ca.'} | 
    Remove-DnsServerResourceRecord -ZoneName $_.ZoneName -Confirm:$false
}

    If you need further help, please feel free to let us know.

    Best Regards,

    Thanks! But this would remove no? Problem is I want to remove ones from my old forest (lests call it ABC.ca) and not the new forest name servers (lets call it XYZ.ca) 

    Ideally I would want to filter like this:

    ? {$_.Hostname -like '*abc.ca*'}|Remove-DnsServerResourceRecord

    So what is stopping you?  Just filter for the ones you want.

    Sorry I should have elaborated. It doesn't work to filter basically it just comes back with "DnsServerResourceRecordNS".

    So for example If I do this:

    Get-DnsServerZone -computername DCNAME | ? {$_.zonename -like 'ZONENAME'} | Get-DnsServerResourceRecord -ComputerName DCNAME -RRType ns| select RecordData

    All that comes back is this for each record:

    RecordData
    ----------
    DnsServerResourceRecordNS
    DnsServerResourceRecordNS
    DnsServerResourceRecordNS
    DnsServerResourceRecordNS
    DnsServerResourceRecordNS
    DnsServerResourceRecordNS
    DnsServerResourceRecordNS
    DnsServerResourceRecordNS
    DnsServerResourceRecordNS
    DnsServerResourceRecordNS


    If I do this:

    Get-DnsServerResourceRecord -ZoneName ZONE -ComputerName DCNAME -RRType "ns" | select HostName,RecordType,Timestamp,TimeToLive,@{Name='RecordData';Expression={$_.RecordData.HostNameAlias.ToString()}} | Where {$_.RecordData -like $ComputerName}

    I get this for each record:

    HostName   : @
    RecordType : NS
    Timestamp  :
    TimeToLive : 01:00:00
    RecordData :

    Oddly enough if I just do this:

    Get-DnsServerResourceRecord -ZoneName ZONE -ComputerName DCNAME -RRType "ns"

    I can see the record data - 

    HostName                  RecordType Timestamp            TimeToLive      RecordData
    --------                  ---------- ---------            ----------      ----------
    @                         NS         0                    01:00:00        DC1.ABC.ca
    @                         NS         0                    01:00:00        DC2.abc.ca
    @                         NS         0                    01:00:00        DC3.abc.ca
    @                         NS         0                    01:00:00        DC4.abc.ca
