Is there a way to force A-record removal in DNS from client server?

Question

Is it possible to initiate deleting of DNS A and PTR records in DNS from member server?

As in the A/PTR records for the member server itself? – jscott Nov 12 '12 at 15:19 — jscott, Nov 12 '12 at 15:19
Yes, exactly, for the member server itself. – Volodymyr Molodets Nov 12 '12 at 15:29 — Volodymyr Molodets, Nov 12 '12 at 15:29

The dnscmd command can be used to edit DNS records of the domain.

Something like the following, the /f switch will "force", that is not prompt for confirmation:

dnscmd <DNSServerName> /recorddelete <ZoneName> <NodeName> <RRType> <RRData> /f

The command will need to run as a user account that has permission to edit DNS records within your domain.
