Set-DnsClientServerAddress

powershell

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.

-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.

-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

Default value:None
Accept pipeline input:False

-ResetServerAddresses

Resets the DNS server IP addresses to the default value.

Type:SwitchParameter

Specifies a list of DNS server IP addresses to set for the interface.

Type:String[]
Aliases:Addresses
Position:Named
Default value:None
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.

-WhatIf

Shows what would happen if the cmdlet runs. The cmdlet is not run.

Type:SwitchParameter

Default value:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False
