How can I view record-level TTLs in Windows Server 2003 DNS Application?

  • 772

As related in another question, I have an issue with a AD server that has multiple PTR records for the same zone with different TTLs. I can see this when doing a manual axfr of the zone:

ns1 0 /home/jj33 ># xfer 37.19.172.in-addr.arpa ad-dns | grep '^3\.'                  <
3.37.19.172.in-addr.arpa.       900     IN      PTR     0509-l3-tmbxt.example.ad.
3.37.19.172.in-addr.arpa.       1200    IN      PTR     0402-3p2jf41.example.ad.

Unfortunately, I can't find any button to push in the Windows GUI to see that these records have different TTLs. Anyone know how to do this, or am I out of luck?

EDIT: The answer is Evan's response below but to summarize here: "Turn on View / Advanced". Doh.

    The TTL is in the "Properties" sheet for each individual record in W2K3 DNS. I'm sure it's in a similar place in W2K8 and W2K DNS. Unfortunately, you'll have to examine this on a record-for-record basis. There's no way to add TTL to the columns listed in the GUI.
