Adjust the Expire Interval for a Zone
You can use this procedure to adjust the expire interval for a Domain Name System (DNS) zone. Other DNS servers that are configured to load and host the zone use the expire interval to determine when zone data expires if it is not successfully transferred. By default, the expire interval for each zone is set to one day.
You can complete this procedure using either the DNS Manager snap-in or the dnscmd command-line tool. To adjust the expire interval for a zone using the Windows interface
1. Open DNS Manager. To open DNS Manager, click Start, point to Administrative Tools, and then click DNS.
2. In the console tree, right-click the applicable zone, and then click Properties.
3. On the General tab, verify that the zone type is either Primary or Active Directory-integrated.
4. Click the Start of Authority (SOA) tab.
5. In Expires after, click a time period in minutes, hours, or days, and then type a number in the text
box.
6. Click OK to save the adjusted interval.
