Export public DNS zone file to txt file

I’m wanting to export the zone file at my old DNS registrar, so I can then easily rekey the info into my new registrar. When I spoke to their support people, they said I have to manually retype it, but given I’ve got dozens of records, I would prefer not to. I tried to use dnscmd but got error “RPC_S_SERVER_UNAVAILABLE 1722 0x6BA”.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Dnscmd only runs against a local Microsoft DNS server. If your registrar doesn’t provide an export mechanism, then there’s not really anything you can do programmatically. You can try running Nslookup and pulling all the records from the zone, but they may disallow that.
