Synopsis
Copies root hints from a DNS server.
Description
The Import-DnsServerRootHint cmdlet copies root hints from a Domain Name System (DNS) server. The root hints that you copy will not overwrite any existing root hints.
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.
