Search Again: Creating New DNS Records with AppleScript From: dns Date: Monday, September 9, 2002 Time: 3:01:32 am I have more than 5,000 domains in a database that I need to enter into our name server. I have tried to do this with AppleScript, but I cannot get it to work completely. I have referred to the examples with QuickDNS Pro. I can create the new zone file alright, using : tell application "QuickDNS Manager for OS X" activate make new zone with properties {name:"domain.com.", master server:"ns1.domain.com.", slave servers:"ns1.domain.com.", type:master, enabled:yes} end tell ..but I am unable to enter any new records (A records especially). I have tried things like: tell application "QuickDNS Manager for OS X" activate make new zone with properties {name:"domain.com.", master server:"ns1.domain.com.", slave servers:"ns1.domain.com.", type:master, enabled:yes} make new A record at after (the last NS record whose name is "ns1.domain.com.") with properties =AC {name:"www.domain.com.", data:"209.152.51.23"} end tell ..and it keeps coming back with an error saying "Can't get some object." I know you probably cannot give AppleScript support, but it would appear that the QuickDNS Pro Suite has an unusual requirememt, unless I'm being stupid again. Can you help at all? I own a registered copy of QuickDNS Pro version 3.5 (serial QDNS-aaac-abf5-aede-xs8n). Thanks. ___________________________________________________________________________= _ Steven J.
