To avoid such problems in the future, use CNAME instead of A. – Max Alginin Oct 30 '09 at 18:51

You should be able to take a copy of your dns zone file and open it with an advanced text editor, such as Notepad++ and perform a find & replace on the records. Once the file is updated, stop your dns server, replace the existing zone file with your modified one and start the dns server.

I just can see Export list per Zone , but I can't find how can I restore modified files. – Ashian Oct 30 '09 at 17:58
Use both techniques - DNSCMD to export your zone to a text file (I'm assuming it's AD-integrated), then edit the file (find & replace) and use DNSCMD again to re-import the edited file. – RainyRat Oct 30 '09 at 18:11

Try using dnscmd. Test the first change from the command prompt using dnscmd. To learn the syntax, use dnscmd /?.

Then create a batch file (i.e. runme.bat) or use powershell, whichever you prefer, with all of the commands.

For IIS, use appcmd from c:\windows\system32\inetsrv. Likely, use appcmd /? to get the syntax, or post back here for more assistance on the specifics.

both command not running,and not recognized as internal command, which is base folder? – Ashian Oct 30 '09 at 18:02
appcmd is new for IIS7, so if you are using a prior version it won't be there. adsutil.vbs is the best command line option prior to appcmd. dnscmd should be in your path on your DNS server. It won't exist on a client machine though. – Scott Forsyth - MVP Oct 30 '09 at 18:58
