.Synopsis
    Add-IBExtensibleAttribute adds or updates an extensible attribute to an existing infoblox record.
.DESCRIPTION
    Updates the provided infoblox record with an extensible attribute as defined in the ExtensibleAttributeDefinition of the Infoblox. If the extensible attribute specified already exists the value will be updated. A valid infoblox object must be provided either through parameter or pipeline. Pipeline supports multiple objects, to allow adding/updating the extensible attribute on multiple records at once.
.PARAMETER Gridmaster
    The fully qualified domain name of the Infoblox gridmaster. SSL is used to connect to this device, so a valid and trusted certificate must exist for this FQDN.
.PARAMETER Credential
    Powershell credential object for use in authentication to the specified gridmaster. This username/password combination needs access to the WAPI interface.
.PARAMETER _Ref
    The unique reference string representing the Infoblox object. String is in format <recordtype>/<uniqueString>:<Name>/<view>. Value is assigned by the Infoblox appliance and returned with and find- or get- command.
.PARAMETER Record
    An object of type IB_xxx representing the Infoblox object. This parameter is typically for passing an object in from the pipeline, likely from Get-DNSARecord.
.PARAMETER EAName
    The name of the extensible attribute to add to the provided infoblox object. This extensible attribute must already be defined on the Infoblox.
.PARAMETER EAValue
    The value to set the specified extensible attribute to. Provided value must meet the data type criteria specified by the extensible attribute definition.
.PARAMETER Passthru
    Switch parameter to return the provided object(x) with the new values after updating the Infoblox. The default behavior is to return nothing on successful record edit.
.EXAMPLE
    Add-IBExtensibleAttribute -gridmaster $gridmaster -credential $credential -_Ref 'record:a/2ifnkqoOKFNOFkldfjqfko3fjksdfjld:testrecord.domain.com/default' -EAName Site -EAValue Corp
     
    This example create a new extensible attribute for 'Site' with value of 'Corp' on the provided extensible attribute
.EXAMPLE
    Get-DNSARecord -gridmaster $gridmaster -credential $credential -_Ref 'record:a/2ifnkqoOKFNOFkldfjqfko3fjksdfjld:testrecord.domain.com/default' | `
        Add-IBExtensibleAttribute -EAName Site -EAValue DR
     
    This example retrieves the DNS record using Get-DNSARecord, then passes that object through the pipeline to Add-IBExtensibleAttribute, which updates the previously created extensible attribute 'Site' to value 'DR'
.EXAMPLE
    Get-IBFixedAddress -gridmaster $gridmaster -credential $credential -ExtAttributeQuery {Site -eq 'OldSite'} | Add-IBExtensibleAttribute -EAName Site -EAValue NewSite
     
    This example retrieves all Fixed Address objects with a defined Extensible attribute of 'Site' with value 'OldSite' and updates the value to 'NewSite'

.DESCRIPTION
    Performs a full search of all Infoblox records matching the supplied value. Returns defined objects for defined record types, and IB_ReferenceObjects for undefined types.
.PARAMETER Gridmaster
    The fully qualified domain name of the Infoblox gridmaster. SSL is used to connect to this device, so a valid and trusted certificate must exist for this FQDN.
.PARAMETER Credential
    Powershell credential object for use in authentication to the specified gridmaster. This username/password combination needs access to the WAPI interface.
.PARAMETER IPAddress
    The IP Address to search for. Standard IPv4 notation applies, and a string value must be castable to an IPAddress object.
.PARAMETER MaxResults
    The maximum number of results to return from the query. A positive value will truncate the results at the specified number. A negative value will throw an error if the query returns more than the specified number.
.PARAMETER SearchString
    A string to search for. Will return any record with the matching string anywhere in a matching string property. Use with -Strict to match only the exact string.
.PARAMETER Strict
    A switch to specify whether the search of the Name field should be exact, or allow partial word searches or regular expression matching.
.PARAMETER RecordType
    A filter for record searching. By default this cmdlet will search all record types. Use this parameter to search for only a specific record type. Can only be used with a string search. Note this parameter is not validated, so value must be the correct syntax for the infoblox to retrieve it.

    The record name to search for. This is usually something like '1.1.168.192.in-addr.arpa'. To search for a hostname that the PTR record resolves to, use the PTRDName parameter. Can be fqdn or partial name match depending on use of the -Strict switch
.PARAMETER PTRDName
    The hostname to search for. Note this is not the name of the PTR record, but rather the name that the ptr record points to. Can be fqdn or partial name match depending on use of the -Strict switch
.PARAMETER IPAddress
    The IP Address to search for. Standard IPv4 notation applies, and a string value must be castable to an IPAddress object.
.PARAMETER Zone
    The DNS zone to search for records in. Note that specifying a zone will also restrict the searching to a specific view. The default view will be used if none is specified.
.PARAMETER MaxResults
    The maximum number of results to return from the query. A positive value will truncate the results at the specified number. A negative value will throw an error if the query returns more than the specified number.
.PARAMETER View
    The Infoblox view to search for records in. The provided value must match a valid view on the Infoblox. Note that if the zone parameter is used for searching results are narrowed to a particular view. Otherwise, searches are performed across all views.
.PARAMETER Comment
    A string to search for in the comment field of the DNS record. Will return any record with the matching string anywhere in the comment field. Use with -Strict to match only the exact string in the comment.
.PARAMETER Strict
    A switch to specify whether the search of the Name, PTRDname or comment fields should be exact, or allow partial word searches or regular expression matching.
.PARAMETER _Ref
    The unique reference string representing the DNS record. String is in format <recordtype>/<uniqueString>:<Name>/<view>. Value is assigned by the Infoblox appliance and returned with and find- or get- command.
.EXAMPLE
    Get-IBDNSPTRRecord -Gridmaster $Gridmaster -Credential $Credential -IPAddress '192.168.101.1'

.Synopsis
    Get-IBRecord retreives objects from the Infoblox database.
.DESCRIPTION
    Get-IBRecord retreives objects from the Infoblox database. Queries the Infoblox database for records matching the provided reference string. Returns defined objects for class-defined record types, and IB_ReferenceObjects for undefined types.
.PARAMETER Gridmaster
    The fully qualified domain name of the Infoblox gridmaster. SSL is used to connect to this device, so a valid and trusted certificate must exist for this FQDN.
.PARAMETER Credential
    Powershell credential object for use in authentication to the specified gridmaster. This username/password combination needs access to the WAPI interface.
.PARAMETER _Ref
    The unique reference string representing the record. String is in format <recordtype>/<uniqueString>:<Name>/<view>. Value is assigned by the Infoblox appliance and returned with and find- or get- command.
.EXAMPLE
    Get-IBRecord -Gridmaster $Gridmaster -Credential $Credential -_Ref 'record:a/2ifnkqoOKFNOFkldfjqfko3fjksdfjld:testrecord.domain.com/default'
 
        Name : testrecord.domain.com

        _ref : network/2ifnkqoOKFNOFkldfjqfko3fjksdfjld:192.168.1.0/default
 
    Description
    -----------
    This example returns an IB_ReferenceObject object for the undefined object type. The object exists on the infoblox and is valid, but no class is defined for it in the cmdlet class definition.
.EXAMPLE
    Get-IBRecord -Gridmaster $Gridmaster -Credential $Credential -name Testrecord.domain.com | Remove-IBDNSARecord
 
    This example retrieves the dns record with name testrecord.domain.com, and deletes it from the infoblox database.

.Synopsis
    Get-IBView retreives objects of type View or network_view from the Infoblox database.
.DESCRIPTION
    Get-IBView retreives objects of type view or network_view from the Infoblox database. Parameters allow searching by Name, Comment or status as default. Search can target either DNS View or Network view, not both. Also allows retrieving a specific record by reference string. Returned object is of class type IB_View or IB_NetworkView.
.PARAMETER Gridmaster
    The fully qualified domain name of the Infoblox gridmaster. SSL is used to connect to this device, so a valid and trusted certificate must exist for this FQDN.
.PARAMETER Credential
    Powershell credential object for use in authentication to the specified gridmaster. This username/password combination needs access to the WAPI interface.
.PARAMETER Type
    Determines which class of object to search for. DNSView searches for IB_View objects, where NetworkView searches for IB_Networkview objects.
.PARAMETER Name
    The view name to search for. Can be full or partial name match depending on use of the -Strict switch
.PARAMETER MaxResults
    The maximum number of results to return from the query. A positive value will truncate the results at the specified number. A negative value will throw an error if the query returns more than the specified number.
.PARAMETER isDefault
    Search for views based on whether they are default or not. If parameter is not specified both types will be returned.
.PARAMETER Comment
    A string to search for in the comment field of the view. Will return any view with the matching string anywhere in the comment field. Use with -Strict to match only the exact string in the comment.
.PARAMETER Strict
    A switch to specify whether the search of the name or comment field should be exact, or allow partial word searches or regular expression matching.
.PARAMETER _Ref
    The unique reference string representing the view. String is in format <recordtype>/<uniqueString>:<Name>/<isDefault>. Value is assigned by the Infoblox appliance and returned with and find- or get- command.
.EXAMPLE
    Get-IBView -Gridmaster $Gridmaster -Credential $Credential Type DNSView -IsDefault $True
 
    This example retrieves the dns view specified as default.
.EXAMPLE
    Get-IBView -Gridmaster $Gridmaster -Credential $Credential -Type NetworkView -comment 'default'
 
    This example retrieves any network views with the word 'default' in the comment
.EXAMPLE
    Get-IBView -Gridmaster $Gridmaster -Credential $Credential -_Ref 'networkview/ZGdzLm5ldHdvamtfdmlldyQw:Default/true'
 
    This example retrieves the single view with the assigned reference string

    New-IBDNSPTRRecord creates an object of type DNSPTRRecord in the Infoblox database.
.DESCRIPTION
    New-IBDNSPTRRecord creates an object of type DNSPTRRecord in the Infoblox database. If creation is successful an object of type IB_DNSPTRRecord is returned.
.PARAMETER Gridmaster
    The fully qualified domain name of the Infoblox gridmaster. SSL is used to connect to this device, so a valid and trusted certificate must exist for this FQDN.
.PARAMETER Credential
    Powershell credential object for use in authentication to the specified gridmaster. This username/password combination needs access to the WAPI interface.
.PARAMETER PTRDName
    The hostname for the record to resolve to. This should be a valid FQDN.
.PARAMETER IPAddress
    The IP Address for the new dns record. Standard IPv4 notation applies, and a string value must be castable to an IPAddress object.
.PARAMETER View
    The Infoblox view to create the record in. The provided value must match a valid view on the Infoblox, and the PTR zone inferred from the IP Address must be present in the specified view. For Example, if the IP Address is 192.168.1.1, then the zone 2.168.192.in-addr.arpa must exist in the specified view. If no view is provided the default DNS view is used.
.PARAMETER Comment
    Optional comment field for the dns record. Can be used for notation and keyword searching by Get- cmdlets.
.PARAMETER TTL
    Optional parameter to specify a record-specific TTL. If not specified the record inherits the Grid TTL
.EXAMPLE
    New-IBDNSPTRRecord -Gridmaster $Gridmaster -Credential $Credential -PTRDName testrecord.domain.com -IPAddress 192.168.1.1
 
        Name : 1.1.168.192.in-addr.arpa

.DESCRIPTION
    Creates a re-usable web session with the supplied gridmaster and credential object. Once created, subsequent infoblox cmdlets will not require the gridmaster or credential parameters. Any cmdlet called with gridmaster and credential parameters will create call this cmdlet to create a web session, or update an existing one.

    Remove-IBExtensibleAttribute adds or updates an extensible attribute to an existing infoblox record.
.DESCRIPTION
    Removes the specified extensible attribute from the provided Infoblox object. A valid infoblox object must be provided either through parameter or pipeline. Pipeline supports multiple objects, to allow adding/updating the extensible attribute on multiple records at once.
.PARAMETER Gridmaster
    The fully qualified domain name of the Infoblox gridmaster. SSL is used to connect to this device, so a valid and trusted certificate must exist for this FQDN.
.PARAMETER Credential
    Powershell credential object for use in authentication to the specified gridmaster. This username/password combination needs access to the WAPI interface.
.PARAMETER _Ref
    The unique reference string representing the Infoblox object. String is in format <recordtype>/<uniqueString>:<Name>/<view>. Value is assigned by the Infoblox appliance and returned with and find- or get- command.
.PARAMETER Record
    An object of type IB_xxx representing the Infoblox object. This parameter is typically for passing an object in from the pipeline, likely from Get-IBDNSARecord.
.PARAMETER EAName
    The name of the extensible attribute to remove from the provided infoblox object.
.PARAMETER RemoveAll
    Switch parameter to remove all extensible attributes from the provided infoblox object(s).
.PARAMETER Passthru
    Switch parameter to return the provided object(s) with the new values after updating the Infoblox. The default behavior is to return nothing on successful record edit.
.EXAMPLE
    Remove-IBExtensibleAttribute -gridmaster $gridmaster -credential $credential -_Ref 'record:a/2ifnkqoOKFNOFkldfjqfko3fjksdfjld:testrecord.domain.com/default' -EAName Site
     
    This example removes the extensible attribute 'site' from the specified infoblox object.

.Synopsis
    Set-IBDNSARecord modifies properties of an existing DNS A Record in the Infoblox database.
.DESCRIPTION
    Set-IBDNSARecord modifies properties of an existing DNS A Record in the Infoblox database. Valid IB_DNSARecord objects can be passed through the pipeline for modification. A valid reference string can also be specified. On a successful edit no value is returned unless the -Passthru switch is used.
.PARAMETER Gridmaster
    The fully qualified domain name of the Infoblox gridmaster. SSL is used to connect to this device, so a valid and trusted certificate must exist for this FQDN.
.PARAMETER Credential
    Powershell credential object for use in authentication to the specified gridmaster. This username/password combination needs access to the WAPI interface.
.PARAMETER _Ref
    The unique reference string representing the DNS record. String is in format <recordtype>/<uniqueString>:<Name>/<view>. Value is assigned by the Infoblox appliance and returned with and find- or get- command.
.PARAMETER Record
    An object of type IB_DNSARecord representing the DNS record. This parameter is typically for passing an object in from the pipeline, likely from Get-IBDNSARecord.
.PARAMETER IPAddress
    The IP Address to set on the provided dns record. Standard IPv4 notation applies, and a string value must be castable to an IPAddress object.
.PARAMETER Comment
    The comment to set on the provided dns record. Can be used for notation and keyword searching by Get- cmdlets.
.PARAMETER TTL
    The record-specific TTL to set on the provided dns record. If the record is currently inheriting the TTL from the Grid, setting this value will also set the record to use the record-specific TTL
.PARAMETER ClearTTL
    Switch parameter to remove any record-specific TTL and set the record to inherit from the Grid TTL
.PARAMETER Passthru
    Switch parameter to return an IB_DNSARecord object with the new values after updating the Infoblox. The default behavior is to return nothing on successful record edit.
.EXAMPLE
    Get-IBDNSARecord -Gridmaster $Gridmaster -Credential $Credential -comment 'old comment' -Strict | Set-IBDNSARecord -comment 'new comment'
     
    This example retrieves all dns records with a comment of 'old comment' and replaces it with 'new comment'
.EXAMPLE
    Get-IBDNSARecord -Gridmaster $Gridmaster -Credential $Credential -Name testrecord.domain.com | Set-IBDNSARecord -IPAddress 192.168.1.2 -comment 'new comment' -passthru

.Synopsis
    Set-IBDNSCNameRecord modifies properties of an existing DNS CName Record in the Infoblox database.
.DESCRIPTION
    Set-IBDNSCNameRecord modifies properties of an existing DNS CName Record in the Infoblox database. Valid IB_DNSCNameRecord objects can be passed through the pipeline for modification. A valid reference string can also be specified. On a successful edit no value is returned unless the -Passthru switch is used.
.PARAMETER Gridmaster
    The fully qualified domain name of the Infoblox gridmaster. SSL is used to connect to this device, so a valid and trusted certificate must exist for this FQDN.
.PARAMETER Credential
    Powershell credential object for use in authentication to the specified gridmaster. This username/password combination needs access to the WAPI interface.
.PARAMETER _Ref
    The unique reference string representing the DNS record. String is in format <recordtype>/<uniqueString>:<Name>/<view>. Value is assigned by the Infoblox appliance and returned with and find- or get- command.
.PARAMETER Record
    An object of type IB_DNSCNameRecord representing the DNS record. This parameter is typically for passing an object in from the pipeline, likely from Get-IBDNSCNameRecord.
.PARAMETER Canonical
    The canonical name or alias target to set on the provided dns record.
.PARAMETER Comment
    The comment to set on the provided dns record. Can be used for notation and keyword searching by Get- cmdlets.
.PARAMETER TTL
    The record-specific TTL to set on the provided dns record. If the record is currently inheriting the TTL from the Grid, setting this value will also set the record to use the record-specific TTL
.PARAMETER ClearTTL
    Switch parameter to remove any record-specific TTL and set the record to inherit from the Grid TTL
.PARAMETER Passthru
    Switch parameter to return an IB_DNSCNameRecord object with the new values after updating the Infoblox. The default behavior is to return nothing on successful record edit.
.EXAMPLE
    Get-IBDNSCNameRecord -Gridmaster $Gridmaster -Credential $Credential -comment 'old comment' -Strict | Set-IBDNSCNameRecord -comment 'new comment'
     
    This example retrieves all dns records with a comment of 'old comment' and replaces it with 'new comment'
.EXAMPLE
    Get-IBDNSCNameRecord -Gridmaster $Gridmaster -Credential $Credential -Name testalias.domain.com | Set-IBDNSCNameRecord -Canonical testrecord2.domain.com -comment 'new comment' -passthru

.Synopsis
    Set-IBView modifies properties of an existing View or NetworkView object in the Infoblox database.
.DESCRIPTION
    Set-IBView modifies properties of an existing View or NetworkView object in the Infoblox database. Valid IB_View or IB_NetworkView objects can be passed through the pipeline for modification. A valid reference string can also be specified. On a successful edit no value is returned unless the -Passthru switch is used.
.PARAMETER Gridmaster
    The fully qualified domain name of the Infoblox gridmaster. SSL is used to connect to this device, so a valid and trusted certificate must exist for this FQDN.
.PARAMETER Credential
    Powershell credential object for use in authentication to the specified gridmaster. This username/password combination needs access to the WAPI interface.
.PARAMETER _Ref
    The unique reference string representing the View or NetworkView object. String is in format <recordtype>/<uniqueString>:<Name>/<defaultbool>. Value is assigned by the Infoblox appliance and returned with and find- or get- command.
.PARAMETER Record
    An object of type IB_View or IB_NetworkView representing the View or NetworkView object. This parameter is typically for passing an object in from the pipeline, likely from Get-IBView.
.PARAMETER Name
    The name to set on the provided View or NetworkView object.
.PARAMETER Comment
    The comment to set on the provided View or NetworkView object. Can be used for notation and keyword searching by Get- cmdlets.
.PARAMETER Passthru
    Switch parameter to return an IB_View or IB_NetworkView object with the new values after updating the Infoblox. The default behavior is to return nothing on successful record edit.
.EXAMPLE
    Get-IBView -Gridmaster $Gridmaster -Credential $Credential -comment 'old comment' -Strict | Set-IBView -comment 'new comment'
     
    This example retrieves all View or NetworkView objects with a comment of 'old comment' and replaces it with 'new comment'
.EXAMPLE
    Get-IBView -Gridmaster $Gridmaster -Credential $Credential -Name view2 | Set-IBView -name view3 -comment 'new comment' -passthru
 
        Name : view3
        Comment : new comment
        is_default: false
        _ref : view/ZG5zLmJpbmRfYSQuX2RlZmF1bHQuY29tLmVwcm9kLHBkYWR1dGwwMWNvcnAsMTAuOTYuMTA1LjE5MQ:view3/false
 
    description
    -----------
    This example modifes the name and comment on the provided record and outputs the updated record definition
.EXAMPLE
