Set-DnsServerCache

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

Synopsis

Modifies cache settings for a DNS server.

Description

The Set-DnsServerCache cmdlet modifies cache settings for a Domain Name System (DNS) server.

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 IPv4 address, an IPv6 address, and any other value that resolves to an IP address, such as fully qualified domain name (FQDN), host name, or NETBIOS name.

-Confirm

Prompts you for confirmation before running the cmdlet.

-IgnorePolicies

Indicates whether to ignore policies for this cache.

-LockingPercent

Specifies a percentage of the original Time to Live (TTL) value that caching can consume.

Cache locking is configured as a percent value. For example, if the cache locking value is set to 50, the DNS server does not overwrite a cached entry for half of the duration of the TTL. By default, the cache locking percent value is 100. This value means that the DNS server will not overwrite cached entries for the entire duration of the TTL.

-MaxKBSize

Specifies the maximum size, in kilobytes, of the memory cache of a DNS server.

-MaxNegativeTtl

Specifies how long (1 to 2592000 seconds) an entry that records a negative answer to a query remains stored in the DNS cache. The value must be provided as a TimeSpan. The default setting is 15 minutes.

-MaxTtl

Specifies how long (0 to 2592000 seconds) a record is saved in cache. The value must be provided as a TimeSpan. If the TimeSpan is set to 0 seconds, the DNS server does not cache records. The default setting is one day (86,400 seconds).

-PassThru

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

-PollutionProtection

Specifies whether DNS filters name service (NS) resource records that are cached. Valid values are zero, which caches all responses to name queries and is the default value; and one, which caches only the records that belong to the same DNS subtree.

When you set this parameter value to False, cache pollution protection is disabled. A DNS server caches the Host (A) record and all queried NS resources that are in the DNS server zone. In this case, DNS can also cache the NS record of an unauthorized DNS server. This event causes name resolution to fail or to be appropriated for subsequent queries in the specified domain.

When you set the value for this parameter to True, the DNS server enables cache pollution protection and ignores the Host (A) record. The DNS server performs a cache update query to resolve the address of the NS if the NS is outside the zone of the DNS server. The additional query minimally affects DNS server performance.

-StoreEmptyAuthenticationResponse

Specifies whether a DNS server stores empty authoritative responses in the cache (RFC-2308). The default value is True.

-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-DnsServerCache [-StoreEmptyAuthenticationResponse <Boolean>] [-MaxKBSize <UInt32>] [-PollutionProtection <Boolean>] [-ComputerName <String>] [-LockingPercent <UInt32>] [-MaxNegativeTtl <TimeSpan>] [-MaxTtl <TimeSpan>] [-PassThru] [-IgnorePolicies <Boolean>] [-CimSession <CimSession[]>] [-ThrottleLimit <Int32>] [-AsJob] [-WhatIf] [-Confirm] [<CommonParameters>]

—————EXAMPLE 1—————
Set the maximum cache size on a DNS server
PS C:> Set-DnsServerCache -MaxKBSize 10240 -ComputerName “srv01.dnssrv01.TOSSolution.com”
This command sets the maximum cache size to 10,240 KB on a DNS server that has an FQDN of srv01.dnssrv01.TOSSolution.com.
