Set-DnsClientServerAddress is accessible with the help of DnsClient module. To configure DnsClient, go through this link.
Synopsis
Sets DNS server addresses associated with the TCP/IP properties on an interface.
Description
The Set-DnsClientServerAddress cmdlet sets one or more IP addresses for DNS servers associated with an interface. This cmdlet statically adds DNS server addresses to the interface. If this cmdlet is used to add DNS servers to the interface, then the DNS servers will override any DHCP configuration for that interface.
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.

-InputObject
Specifies the input to this cmdlet. You can use this parameter, or you can pipe the input to this cmdlet.
| Type: | CimInstance[] |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Accept pipeline input: | True |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-InterfaceAlias
Specifies the friendly name of the interface.
| Type: | String[] |
| Position: | 0 |
| Default value: | None |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-InterfaceIndex
Specifies the index number of the interface.
| Type: | UInt32[] |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Accept pipeline input: | True |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-PassThru
Returns an object representing the item with which you are working. By default, this cmdlet does not generate any output.
| Type: | SwitchParameter |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-ResetServerAddresses
Resets the DNS server IP addresses to the default value.
| Type: | SwitchParameter |
| Aliases: | ResetAddresses |
| Position: | Named |

| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-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.
| Type: | Int32 |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-Validate
Validates that one or more IP addresses are responsive DNS servers before the IP addresses are set to the interface. This parameter must be used with the ServerAddress parameter.

—————EXAMPLE 1—————
Set the DNS server addresses on an interface with a specified index value
PS C:>Set-DnsClientServerAddress -InterfaceIndex 12 -ServerAddresses (“10.0.1.10″,”10.0.1.20”)
This example sets the DNS server addresses on a specified interface with the index value of 12.
—————EXAMPLE 2—————
Reset a DNS client to use the default DNS server addresses
PS C:\>Set-DnsClientServerAddress –InterfaceIndex 12 -ResetServerAddresses
This example resets the DNS client to use the default DNS server addresses specified by DHCP on the interface with an index value of 12.
