Can’t delete UPPERCASE PTR records in DNS on Windows 2012 R2

Situation: The client has a duplicated PTR records and can’t delete them.

Troubleshooting: We recommand them to use powershell or CND command. Here is the example

dnscmd DNSServerIP /RecordDelete Reverse Lookup Zone X.X.X PTR

In our example, DNSServerIP = 10.0.0.84, Reverse Lookup Zone = 10.in-addr.arpa, x.x.x = 126.0.0 (the host IP is 10.0.0.126)

dnscmd 10.0.0.84 /RecordDelete 10.in-addr.arpa 126.0.0 PTR
