Hello,
I have heard there is method to initiate zone transfer through the command
line tool of NSLOOKUP. How can I reach the functionality and obtain the
whole zone record or even only initiate DNS synchronization?

Ondra.
 
Hi Ondrej . Thank-you for your post.

This article will help you with nslookup:

200525 Using NSlookup.exe
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=200525

Specifically you are asking about the -ls d option. For example:

run: nslookup.exe
type: ls -d domain_name <enter>

This will perform a zone transfer if the DNS server allows them.

I hope this helps.

Is there a way to perform a zone transfer in a non interactive mode
(something like nslookup -ls... <zone name> <server name>)?
