Get-DnsClient

Get-DnsClient is accessible with the help of DnsClient module. To configure DnsClient, go through this link.

Synopsis

Gets details of the network interfaces configured on a specified computer.

Description

The Get-DnsClient cmdlet gets configuration details specific to the different network interfaces on a specified computer.

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.

For more information about Windows PowerShell background jobs, see about_Jobs.

-CimSession

Runs the cmdlet in a remote session or on a remote computer. Enter a computer name or a session object, such as the output of a New-CimSession or Get-CimSession cmdlet. The default is the current session on the local computer.

-ConnectionSpecificSuffix

Specifies the connection-specific suffixes that are to be appended. This parameter is a per-connection DNS suffix which will be appended to the computer name to construct a Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN). This FQDN will be used as the host name for name resolution by the DNS client.

-InterfaceAlias

Specifies the friendly name of the interface.

-InterfaceIndex

Specifies the index number of the interface.

-RegisterThisConnectionsAddress

Specifies the registration policy for this interface.

This parameter indicates whether the computer should automatically register the IP address associated with this connection with the DNS server.

-ThrottleLimit

Specifies the maximum number of concurrent operations that can be established to run the cmdlet. If this parameter is omitted or a value of 0 is entered, then Windows PowerShell calculates an optimum throttle limit for the cmdlet based on the number of CIM cmdlets that are running on the computer. The throttle limit applies only to the current cmdlet, not to the session or to the computer.

-UseSuffixWhenRegistering

Specifies the registration suffix policy for this interface.

This parameter indicates whether suffixes must be used while registering an IP address.

Syntax

Get-DnsClient [-InterfaceIndex <UInt32[]>] [[-InterfaceAlias] <String[]>] [-ConnectionSpecificSuffix <String[]>] [-RegisterThisConnectionsAddress <Boolean[]>] [-UseSuffixWhenRegistering <Boolean[]>] [-CimSession <CimSession[]>] [-ThrottleLimit <Int32>] [-AsJob] [<CommonParameters>]

—————EXAMPLE 1—————
Get the network interface configuration
PS C:>Get-DnsClient
