Modify-Time-Stamp /Stale Record

[Wensi Peng]

Hello,

I want to find "Record Time Stamp" in dnsNode with ADSI editor. But I only
found
"Modify-Time-Stamp". Is it the same?

Also another question.

My plan is to read the "Record Time Stamp" of dnsNode object and remove
those with 2 -week old workstations
by a VBscript. Is it a save approach to clean stale records in DNS?

Because of some good reason I do not want to use scavenging ( auto/manfully)
in DNS console.

Thanks,
Wensi

If you don't mind me asking, what's the reason you're looking to script this
rather than using scavenging?

Because it happened a few servers could not refresh "record time stamp". I
do not want to scavenge those servers to cause outage.
I want to exam the records first and then selectively to fix the server
issue. But for XP workstation I can delete them right away.
I want to read /delete the record information from AD by a VBscript.

By the way, I found dnscmd.exe ( /enumRecords) can get a "dwTimeStamp" and
tested it. It seems to be the " record time stamp" in DNS console.
