Search Again: Re: Scripting From: Men & Mice Support Date: Saturday, May 4, 2002 Time: 12:51:21 pm You have to address the zone document. Here's a script that I've verified works: property domains : {"test1.com.", "test2.com."} repeat with domain in domains tell application "QuickDNS Manager 3.5.1 (Carbon)" activate set theDoc to (open zone (domain as string)) tell theDoc make new record at beginning with data "@ MX 10 mail.server.com." try close saving yes end try end tell end tell end repeat The reason for wrapping the 'try' statement (an error handler) around the 'close' statement is that the save operation will fail if Manager's syntax checker finds any problems in the zone. ____________________________________________________________________ Chris Buxton Men & Mice support@menandmice.com Making DNS Easy Visit the Men & Mice booth (#2525) at NetWorld+Interop in Las Vegas, Nevada, May 7-9. http://www.key3media.com/interop/lv2002/index.php At 1:31 AM -0700 5/4/02, Aaron Lynch wrote: >On 5/3/02 7:51 PM, Men & Mice Support mashed the following keys : > >> At 5:22 PM -0700 5/3/02, Aaron Lynch wrote: >>> OK this is what I have that works: >>> > >> property domains : {"test1.com.", "test2.com."} >>> > >> repeat with domain in domains >>> tell application "QuickDNS Manager for OS X" >>> activate >>> open zone (domain as string) >>> end tell >>> end repeat > >> >>> Then >>> In that tell, I need it to create two mx records so I tried variations = on: >>> >>> >>> make new record at beginning with data domain & "" & "MX" & "10" >>>& (domain & >>> "mail.server.com") >>> >>> But I invariably get "QDNS got an error: can't make a new record" >> >> Try this: >> >> make new record at beginning with data "@ MX 10 mail.server.com." > >Gets me "can't make a record" > >> >> Alternatively: >> >> make new MX record at beginning with properties =AC >> {name: domain, preference: 10, mailhost name: "mail.server.com."} > >Gets me Can't make an MX Record > >Just for fun I tried in OS9 and OSX...
