Hi Arlecchino
You check if the Zone exists, but do not acutally create one if it does not exist...

Probably you missed this part of the script. it is in else part of the script
# Create new record - FIXED SECTION
Write-Host " [CREATE] Adding new PTR record for $ptrName pointing to $hostname"
# Explicitly create the record object
$newPtrRecord = @{
ZoneName = $reverseZone
Name = $ptrName
PtrDomainName = $hostname
ComputerName = $DnsServer
ErrorAction = 'Stop'
}
