- Connect to the server via RDP.
-
Prepare the list of the domains. For example, in order to put all the domains on the server into the
C:\domains.txtfile, use the following Command Prompt command:C:\> "%plesk_bin%\dbclient.exe" --direct-sql --sql="SELECT name FROM domains" > C:\domains.txt
-
Remove the existing A records from the domains:
C:\> for /f "skip=1" %i in (C:\domains.txt); do ("%plesk_cli%\dns.exe" -d %i -a "" -ip 203.0.113.2)
-
Run the following command to add the new A records for the domains:
C:\> for /f "skip=1" %i in (C:\domains.txt); do ("%plesk_cli%\dns.exe" -a %i -a "" -ip 203.0.113.2).

That's however only for those who use windows for PLESK..

Yes, this KB article is only for Windows because Plesk for Windows does not have "DNS Template" feature that has Plesk for Linux. Thus please follow this KB article to update all DNS records in case you have Plesk on Linux server: https://support.plesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/12377584528535
