need a powershell script to modify a set of DNS records - bulk

There are no native Powershell cmdlets to accomplish what you are doing for server 2008. If you are using Server 2012 you can do this natively.

For server 2008 there has been a script to accomplish this using dnscmd to modify DNS records.

PS Script Download - http://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/scriptcenter/Update-DNS-records-with-da10910d

You will need to add your list of computers to the script via CSV file.

You can use the below script to get a list of computers from the DisabledComputers OU and then export them to a csv file. From there you put the file path into the PS script found at the download link...

Get-ADComputer -Filter * -SearchBase "OU=DisabledComputers,DC=domain,DC=com" | select DNSHostName | Export-csv "c:\computers.csv"

Will.

Are you hoping to an additional record or remove the old one and create a new record ?

Here is an already scripted solution using dnscmd.
http://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/scriptcenter/Update-DNS-records-with-da10910d

The concept is simple you feed in values such as your dns server, zone name and an input file with the records you want to update eg. Record, IP

# Environment Setup 
$DNSServer = "YourDNSServer" 
$DNSZone = "YourZoneName" 
$InputFile = "dnsrecords.csv" 
 
# Read the input file which is formatted as name,type,address with a header row 
$records = Import-CSV $InputFile 
 
# Now we loop through the file to delete and re-create records 
# DNSCMD does not have a modify option so we must use /RecordDelete first followed by a /RecordAdd  
 
ForEach ($record in $records) { 
 
    # Capture the record contents as variables 
    $recordName = $record.name 
    $recordType = $record.type 
    $recordAddress = $record.address 
 
    # Build our DNSCMD DELETE command syntax 
    $cmdDelete = "dnscmd $DNSServer /RecordDelete $DNSZone $recordName $recordType /f" 
 
    # Build our DNSCMD ADD command syntax 
    $cmdAdd = "dnscmd $DNSServer /RecordAdd $DNSZone $recordName $recordType $recordAddress" 
 
    # Now we execute the command 
    Write-Host "Running the following command: $cmdDelete" 
    Invoke-Expression $cmdDelete 
 
    Write-Host "Running the following command: $cmdAdd" 
    Invoke-Expression $cmdAdd 
}

You can visit the link above for a detailed explanation on usage.

becraig, this appears to be specific to a single zone. in my case each line item is a different zone in the csv.  thx

You can simply modify the zone input:
is the zone in the same csv as the record and IP ?

but your script asks for the zone in the environmental setup at the top

Chris Dent has also written DNSShell which is now on CodePlex.

And a link with some example usage.
