  • The Horde component is removed from Plesk Installer. We recommend switching to another webmail software supported in Plesk.
  • The BIND DNS server has already been deprecated and removed from Plesk for Windows.
    If a Plesk for Windows server is still using BIND, the upgrade to Plesk Obsidian 18.0.70 will be unavailable until the administrator switches the DNS server to Microsoft DNS. We strongly recommend transitioning to Microsoft DNS within the next 6 weeks, before the Plesk 18.0.70 release.

Editing DNS records

Is there a way to "edit" DNS records with Plesk besides deleting them and adding them back in? I've run into several cases where a client wants their DNS in with hosting, but they move their email, for instance so need to change their MX. It would be a bit simpler to just change the MX rather than deleting it and readding it.

Thanks!
 
The Plesk control panel interface is what it is.... They chose to design it this way for whatever reason. It would have been nice if they had done an 'edit/modify' instead of just add/delete.

There are alternatives, but are not recommended to be used on the Plesk server itself, but rather to be used on separate DNS servers. Two examples of these which do have an edit/modify are:

SMBind looks pretty good. Do you know if it is possible to use the Plesk user database to authenticate web pages on other servers? If so, is there an FAQ or SDK you can point me to so I can stumble my way through?
