DynDns.Rest.Powershell

Unofficial powershell wrapper around the DynDns Rest API - A .NET Powershell library for working with the DynDns Rest API - https://help.dyn.com/rest/

Usage

Below are some samples of usage. This is only a subset of the possible API operations available via the DynDns interface

Usage follows the DynDns guidelines of,

• Log-on
• Make Changes and updates
• Publish changes
• Log-out

Get-NewDynDnsSession

Logs you in to DnsDns and starts a new session for the user

Get-NewDynDnsSession -user dyndnsuser -pwd the-password -customer customer-name

You must start a new DynDns session before attempting operations, or an error is displayed

Get-DynDnsEntry

Gets any matching record type for the specified criteria.

Get-DynDnsEntry -node some-dns-entry -zone some-zone.com

If record some-dns-entry.some-zone.com exists, the results are displayed

Add-DynDnsEntry

Supports adding a Cname or ARecord to a DNS Zone

CName example

This would create CNAME the-node-to-create.somezone.com over some.origin.net

Add-DynDnsEntry -zone somezone.com -node the-node-to-create -rt CName -rd some.origin.net

A Record example

This would create A Record the-node-to-create.somezone.com over 1.2.3.4

Add-DynDnsEntry -zone somezone.com -node the-node-to-create -rt ARecord -rd 1.2.3.4

In both cases, if the node you are trying to create already exists for the zone, then a conflict error is displayed and no work is done.

Get-DynDnsZoneChanges

Any outstanding changes waiting to be published are displayed

Get-DynDnsZoneChanges -zone some-zone.com

Push-DynDnsZoneChanges

Requires confirmation, can be overridden by using the -Force parameter. Any outstanding changes to be published are updated in the zone

Push-DynDnsZoneChanges -zone some-zone.com

Close-DynDnsSession

Ends your session. If any changes were made that weren't commited using Push-DynDnsZoneChanges , they are abandoned and no updates are made

Example Session

Tying it together, the following shows the commands required to logon, create a new CName, push changes to the zone and log off

Get-NewDynDnsSession -user dyndnsuser -pwd the-password -customer customer-name

Add-DynDnsEntry -zone some-zone.com -node node-to-create -rt CName -rd some.origin.net

Push-DynDnsZoneChanges -zone some-zone.com

Close-DynDnsSession
