Explanation

To create a custom Active Directory application directory partition for DNS with a specific, limited replication scope (only 4 of the domain controllers), you must use dnscmd.exe. The command dnscmd /createdirectorypartition creates a custom application directory partition, and dnscmd /enlistdirectorypartition enrolls specific domain controllers in that partition. The DNS Manager GUI only supports the three built-in replication scopes (forest-wide, domain-wide, and all DNS servers). Active Directory Sites and Services and Active Directory Administrative Center do not provide DNS partition creation functionality.
