Trying to create a PTR record in PoSH or Python for an A record already existing

Hello,

 

I have a scenario where I have to register a few hundred computers at once, and someone had uploaded all of them in a CSV before the reverse zone existed.  Now that it does exist, I'm trying to programmatically create a PTR using either of the SDK's in the subject but they both produce the a very similar error.  Not sure what I'm doing incorrectly but it feels like I'm perhaps dealing with the wrong object. I haven't found any good examples of people creating forward and reverse records using the SDK's, and would appreciate any help you can provide.  for the powershell, I've tried the ipv4addras described by the schema too with the same results.

 

In powershell:

 New-IBObject -ObjectType recordSmiley Tonguetr  @{ptrdname='host.doman.net';ip_address='192.168.1.15'}

 

AdmConDataError: None (IBDataConflictError: IB.Data.Conflict:An invalid IP address or reverse zone was specified.)
At C:\Users\...Documents\WindowsPowerShell\Modules\Posh-IBWAPI\1.5.0\Public\Invoke-IBWAPI.ps1:141 char:13
+             throw [Exception] "$($wapiErr.Error)"
+             ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    + CategoryInfo          : OperationStopped: (Smiley Happy [], Exception
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : AdmConDataError: None (IBDataConflictError: IB.Data.Conflict:An invalid IP address or reverse zone was specified.)

 

 

 

In Python:

 

objects.PtrRecord.create(conn,ptrdname='host.domain.net',ip='192.168.1.15')

Based on the error you are reporting, it seems that you do not have an appropriate DNS zone (e.g. 168.192.in-addr.arpa) required to hold the PTR recurd.
