Export DNS on windows

To generate a bind-compatible export file from a windows DNS server:

• Browse to C:\Windows\System32\dns.
• Create a folder called export.
• Open a command prompt.
• Browse to C:\Temp.
• Run the following commands:
• dnscmd /enumzones > AllZones.txt
• for /f %a in (AllZones.txt) do dnscmd /ZoneExport %a export\%a.txt

In the export folder you will now have a text file with an export for every zone (forward & reverse) in your DNS server.
