Hey @danielpaulino

Can you tell us what you were doing when you got this error?
Were you following some instructions? If so, can you link?
What are you trying to do?

Good afternoon

I was creating a host and this error appears in the DNS record.
I’m using the dnscmd provider to create the MS DNS record.

I set dns.yml to dns_dnscmd.

I didn’t use manual, because I couldn’t find it to configure dnscmd.

You can’t use dnscmd on Linux. It is intended to be used from a Windows machine where cmd.exe is actually available.

Yeah, we are lacking documentation in Windows integration area. Very few of us actually have that setup (I think nobody from the core team who contribute on a daily basis). This is how you can help - writing such documentation. Even a blog post would be huge help.
