Locate DNS record and create record if its missing

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Folks, I'd like to do be able to script the following...

1. Check MS DNS to see if a CNAME record exisits
2. If it doesn't exisit I'd like to use a script to create it.

I was thinking of using the following but it doesn't seem very slick. Any
ideas?

'Run the following Command to a text file

nslookup -type=cname aliasForTesting.mydomain.net > C:\nslookup.txt


'Open the text file with something similar to

set objFSO=CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
set objFile=objFSO.OpenTextFile(strFilePath, 1)

'Parse the txt file

'If there is no response then perform the following:

C:\Program Files\Support Tools\dnscmd.exe server01.mydomain.net /RecordAdd
mydomain.net TestingAliasAdd /Aging 60 CNAME server01.mydomain.net
