A naming restriction is a list of words that can't be used as part of a resource record name. Use naming restrictions to prevent reserved or undesirable words from being used in resource record names.

You can add naming restrictions to a naming policy at any time; you don't need to create naming restrictions before you create a naming policy.

To create a naming restriction:

  1. Select the Administration tab. Tabs remember the page you last worked on, so select the tab again to ensure you're on the Administration page.
  2. Under General, click Naming Policy Management.
  3. Click the Naming Restrictions tab.
  4. Under Naming Restriction, click New.
  5. Under General, complete the following:
    • Name—enter a descriptive name for the naming restriction.
    • Restriction List From File—click browse to import restricted values from a text file. Importing a restricted values text file overwrites any existing values in the restriction list. A dialog box opens. Select a file and click Open.
      Attention: Importing a restricted values text file overwrites any existing values in the restriction list.
    • Enter Restriction List Manually—select to add restricted values manually. Create the values using these fields:
      • Value—enter a word you want to restrict.
      • Match Type—select a matching option:
        • Any—any words containing the specified value are restricted. For example, for the value arm, the words arm, armed, and disarm are all restricted by the naming policy.
        • Exact—only exact matches of the specified value are restricted. For example, for the restricted word arm, only arm is restricted by the naming policy. The naming policy allows the use of armed and disarm.
