Set-DnsServer

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

Synopsis

Overwrites a DNS server configuration.

Description

The Set-DnsServer cmdlet uses an input object to overwrite a specified Domain Name System (DNS) server configuration. You can generate the input object by using an XML file that is exported by using any of the following cmdlets: Get-DnsServer, Export-Clixml, or Import-Clixml.

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.

-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.

-ComputerName

Specifies a DNS server. The acceptable values for this parameter are: an IP v4 address; an IP v6 address; any other value that resolves to an IP address, such as a fully qualified domain name (FQDN), host name, or NETBIOS name.

-Confirm

Prompts you for confirmation before running the cmdlet.

-CreateFileBackedPrimaryZones

Indicates that you must create new file-backed primary zones in the input object. The files that contains the resource records must exist in the %windir%\system32\dns directory.

-Force

Overrides the default confirmation setting before the cmdlet performs the action.

-InputObject

Specifies the input to this cmdlet. You can use this parameter, or you can pipe the input to this cmdlet.

-PassThru

Returns an object representing the item with which you are working. By default, this cmdlet does not generate any output.

-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.

-WhatIf

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

Syntax

Set-DnsServer [-InputObject] <CimInstance> [-ComputerName <String>] [-Force] [-CreateFileBackedPrimaryZones] [-PassThru] [-CimSession <CimSession[]>] [-ThrottleLimit <Int32>] [-AsJob] [-WhatIf] [-Confirm] [<CommonParameters>]

—————EXAMPLE 1—————
Overwrite a DNS server configuration by using an input object
PS C:>Get-DnsServer -ComputerName “dnsdrv02.TOSSolution.com” | Export-Clixml -Path “c:\DnsServerConfig.xml”
PS C:>$x = Import-Clixml “c:\DnsServerConfig.xml”
PS C:>Set-DnsServer -InputObject $x –ComputerName “dnsdrv04.TOSSolution.com”
This set of commands uses an input object to overwrite a DNS server configuration.
As shown in the code block, the first command gets DNS server configuration by using the Get-DnsServer cmdlet. It then pipes the information to the Export-Clixml cmdlet, which exports the data into an XML file.
The second command gets and stores the XML file data in variable $x.
The third command uses the data that is stored in variable $x to overwrite an existing DNS server configuration.

—————EXAMPLE 2—————
Set DNS server configuration by using the Cimsession parameter
PS C:\>Get-DnsServer -CimSession 192.168.1.10 | Set-DnsServer
This command gets DNS server configuration from a server that has an IP address of 192.168.1.10 and applies it to the server on which the Set-DnsServer cmdlet is run.

—————EXAMPLE 3—————
Migrate DNS server configuration by using IP addresses
PS C:\>Get-DnsServer -CimSession 192.168.1.10 | Set-DnsServer -ComputerName 192.168.1.11
This command migrates DNS server configuration from a server that has an IP address of 192.168.1.10 to a server that has an IP address of 192.168.1.11.

—————EXAMPLE 4—————
Create a file-backed primary zone
PS C:\>Get-DnsServer -CimSession 192.168.1.10 | Set-DnsServer -CreateFileBackedPrimaryZones
This command creates file-backed primary zones on the specified local DNS server. The file that contains resource records must exist in the %windir%\system32\dns directory.
