Synopsis
Adds root hints on a DNS server.
Description
The Add-DnsServerRootHint cmdlet adds root hints on a Domain Name System (DNS) server. You can add root hints by specifying the DNS name server and IP address, or you can use the InputObject parameter to specify a DnsServerRootHint object.
Parameters
-AsJob
Runs the cmdlet as a background job. Use this parameter to run commands that take a long time to complete.
The cmdlet immediately returns an object that represents the job and then displays the command prompt. You can continue to work in the session while the job completes. To manage the job, use the *-Job cmdlets. To get the job results, use the Receive-Job cmdlet.
