Question : Unable to delte DNS entry-how can this deletion be done (see body & screenshots)
I am trying to delete the DNS entry (refer to the screenshot that has this entry highlighted).
I have been trying to do this by running the dnscmd on the DNS server where this entry is found, but have received the following errors everytime that I have run this dnscmd (see below).
How can I delete this dns entry? Please let me know.

Answer : Unable to delte DNS entry-how can this deletion be done (see body & screenshots)
Is it a secondary zone? If so, you'll have to delete it from the server hosting the primary zone.
