Can someone point me to some code examples for interacting with MS DNS
server through scripting?

I need the ability to add/modify/remove DNS entries on our server
without logging into that server remotely and using the GUI.

Thanks!

Please ignore my previous reply - I got confused.

You could use psexec.exe (www.sysinternals.com) to invoke this
command on your server:

netsh interface ip set dns . . .

So the only realistic way is using DNSCMD? I was hoping to create a
simple interface using a VBS script for people in my department to add
new subdomains to our primary domain and modifying the existing
subdomain entries.

Right now I have to handle it all manually and it's a PITA

Hmm. Users playing around with primary domains, subdomains
and DNS settings. Sounds like a recipe for disaster.

Hehe. I should qualify that, I guess.

We have 4 support programmers that need to add new subdomains when we
sign a new client. They don't know much about DNS server and I don't
want to give them access to our DNS server.

What I want is a simple script (or web page) that allows them to add a
new subdomain, remove an existing subdomain or modify an existing
subdomain and that's it.
