Parameter Set: ByName
Set-DnsClientServerAddress -InterfaceIndex <UInt32[]> [-AsJob] [-CimSession <CimSession[]> ] [-PassThru] [-ResetServerAddresses] [-ServerAddresses <String[]> ] [-ThrottleLimit <Int32> ] [-Validate] [-Confirm] [-WhatIf] [ <CommonParameters>]

Detailed 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

-CimSession<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<CimInstance[]>

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

-InterfaceAlias<String[]>

Specifies the friendly name of the interface.

-InterfaceIndex<UInt32[]>

Specifies the index number of the interface.

-PassThru

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

-ResetServerAddresses

Resets the DNS server IP addresses to the default value.

-ServerAddresses<String[]>

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

-ThrottleLimit<Int32>

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.

-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.

-Confirm

Prompts you for confirmation before running the cmdlet.

-WhatIf

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

<CommonParameters>

This cmdlet supports the common parameters: -Verbose, -Debug, -ErrorAction, -ErrorVariable, -OutBuffer, and -OutVariable. For more information, see    about_CommonParameters (https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkID=113216).

Inputs

The input type is the type of the objects that you can pipe to the cmdlet.

• Microsoft.Management.Infrastructure.CimInstance#root\StandardCimv2\MSFT_DNSClient

  The Microsoft.Management.Infrastructure.CimInstance object is a wrapper class that displays Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) objects. The path after the pound sign (#) provides the namespace and class name for the underlying WMI object.

• Microsoft.Management.Infrastructure.CimInstance#root\StandardCimv2\MSFT_DNSClientServerAddresses

  The Microsoft.Management.Infrastructure.CimInstance object is a wrapper class that displays Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) objects. The path after the pound sign (#) provides the namespace and class name for the underlying WMI object.

• Microsoft.Management.Infrastructure.CimInstance#root\StandardCimv2\MSFT_NetAdapter

  The Microsoft.Management.Infrastructure.CimInstance object is a wrapper class that displays Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) objects. The path after the pound sign (#) provides the namespace and class name for the underlying WMI object.

• Microsoft.Management.Infrastructure.CimInstance#root\StandardCimv2\MSFT_NetIPInterface

  The Microsoft.Management.Infrastructure.CimInstance object is a wrapper class that displays Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) objects. The path after the pound sign (#) provides the namespace and class name for the underlying WMI object.

Outputs

The output type is the type of the objects that the cmdlet emits.

• Microsoft.Management.Infrastructure.CimInstance#root\StandardCimv2\MSFT_DNSClientServerAddress

  The Microsoft.Management.Infrastructure.CimInstance object is a wrapper class that displays Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) objects. The path after the pound sign (#) provides the namespace and class name for the underlying WMI object.
  The MSFT_DNSClientServerAddress class has the various DNS server IP addresses configured on a given interface. If no interface is specified, then all interfaces are configured.

Examples

EXAMPLE 1

This example sets the DNS server addresses on a specified interface with the index value of 12.

PS C:\> Set-DnsClientServerAddress -InterfaceIndex 12 -ServerAddresses ("10.0.0.1","10.0.0.2")

EXAMPLE 2

This example resets the DNS client to use the default DNS server addresses specified by DHCP on the interface with an index value of 12.

PS C:\> Set-DnsClientServerAddress –InterfaceIndex 12 -ResetServerAddresses
