save_zone

Use the save_zone command to save the currently selected zone stored in memory to Active Directory. You must save the selected zone for any changes you make using ADEdit to take effect in Active Directory. If you select another zone or end the ADEdit session before saving the currently selected zone, your changes will be lost.

This command only saves fields that are properties in the currently selected zone. The command does not save any users or groups added to a zone. You must save users and groups individually using the save_zone_user and save_zone_group commands.
