Description

The Clear-DnsServerStatistics cmdlet clears all Domain Name System (DNS) server statistics. After you have cleared the statistics, you cannot retrieve them.

If you specify the ZoneName parameter, the cmdlet clears statistics for the specified zones. If you do not specify the ZoneName parameter, the cmdlet clears aggregated server level statistics.

Examples

Example 1: Clear DNS server statistics

PS C:\> Clear-DnsServerStatistics
Confirm
Cleared statistics cannot be retrieved later, do you want to continue? 
[Y] Yes  [N] No  [S] Suspend  [?] Help (default is "Y"):

This command clears statistics from a DNS server.

Example 2: Clear DNS server statistics from a zone

PS C:\> Clear-DnsServerStatistics -ZoneName "Contoso.com"

This command clears statistics from a DNS server for the zone named Contoso.com.

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.

For more information about Windows PowerShell background jobs, see about_Jobs.

-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.

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. Type the NetBIOS name, or a fully qualified domain name of a remote computer.

-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.
