Export DNS Zone

DNS::Microsoft::Export Zone
DNSCMD is a great utility
One of the many things you can do is backup a zone:
dnscmd SERVERNAME /ZoneExport domain.com DNS-BACKUP.TXT
Oddly, you can't put that output anyplace other than the default:
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\DNS\

Windows DNS TTL

VIEW > ADVANCED gives you the secret field to fill in the TTL

Sheesh!
