Description
The Get-DnsClient cmdlet retrieves configuration details specific to the different network interfaces on a specified computer.
Examples
EXAMPLE 1
PS C:\>Get-DnsClient
This example gets configuration details of network interfaces on a computer.
EXAMPLE 2
PS C:\>$dnsClient1 = Get-DnsClient -InterfaceAlias "Wired Ethernet Connection"
PS C:\>Set-DnsClientServerAddress -InputObject $dnsClinet1 -ServerAddresses ("10.0.0.1","10.0.0.2")
This is a version of the cmdlet using the pipeline.
PS C:\>Get-DnsClient | Set-DnsClientServerAddress -ServerAddresses ("10.0.0.1","10.0.0.2")
This example sets the DNS server IP address on all of the wired Ethernet connections on a computer.
EXAMPLE 3
PS C:\>Get-DnsClient | Set-DnsClientServerAddress -ResetServerAddresses
This example resets all of the network interfaces to use DHCP-specified DNS server addresses.
Parameters
-AsJob

Type: | SwitchParameter |
Position: | Named |
Default value: | None |
Required: | False |
Accept pipeline input: | False |
Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-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-CimSessionhttp://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=227967 or Get-CimSessionhttp://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=227966 cmdlet. The default is the current session on the local computer.
Type: | CimSession[] |
Aliases: | Session |
Position: | Named |
Default value: | None |
Required: | False |
Accept pipeline input: | False |
Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-ConnectionSpecificSuffix
Specifies the connection-specific suffixes that are to be appended. This parameter is a per-connection DNS suffix which will be appended to the computer name to construct a Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN). This FQDN will be used as the host name for name resolution by the DNS client.
Type: | String[] |
Aliases: | Suffix |
Position: | Named |
Default value: | None |
Required: | False |
Accept pipeline input: | False |
Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-InterfaceAlias
Specifies the friendly name of the interface.
Type: | String[] |
Position: | 0 |
Default value: | None |
Required: | False |
Accept pipeline input: | False |
Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-InterfaceIndex
Specifies the index number of the interface.
Type: | UInt32[] |
Position: | Named |
Default value: | None |
Required: | False |
Accept pipeline input: | True |
Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-RegisterThisConnectionsAddress
Specifies the registration policy for this interface.
This parameter specifies that the computer should automatically register the IP address associated with this connection with the DNS server.
Type: | Boolean[] |
Position: | Named |
Default value: | None |
Required: | False |
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 |
Required: | False |
Accept pipeline input: | False |
Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-UseSuffixWhenRegistering
Specifies the registration suffix policy for this interface.
This parameter specifies that suffixes need to be used while registering an IP address.
Type: | Boolean[] |
Position: | Named |
Default value: | None |
Required: | False |
Accept pipeline input: | False |
Accept wildcard characters: | False |
