NAME Get-DnsClient
SYNOPSIS
Gets details of the network interfaces configured on a specified computer.
SYNTAX
Get-DnsClient [[-InterfaceAlias] <String[]>] [-CimSession <CimSession[]>] [-ConnectionSpecificSuffix <String[]>] [-InterfaceIndex <UInt32[]>]
[-RegisterThisConnectionsAddress <Boolean[]>] [-ThrottleLimit <Int32>] [-UseSuffixWhenRegistering <Boolean[]>] [<CommonParameters>]
DESCRIPTION
The Get-DnsClient cmdlet gets configuration details specific to the different network interfaces on a specified computer.
PARAMETERS
-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.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value none
Accept pipeline input? false
Accept wildcard characters? false
-ConnectionSpecificSuffix [<String[]>]
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.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value none
Accept pipeline input? false
Accept wildcard characters? false
-InterfaceAlias [<String[]>]
Specifies the friendly name of the interface.
Required? false
Position? 1
Default value none
Accept pipeline input? false
Accept wildcard characters? false
-InterfaceIndex [<UInt32[]>]
Specifies the index number of the interface.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value none
Accept pipeline input? true (ByValue, ByPropertyName)
Accept wildcard characters? false
-RegisterThisConnectionsAddress [<Boolean[]>]
Specifies the registration policy for this interface.
This parameter indicates whether the computer should automatically register the IP address associated with this connection with the DNS server.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value none
Accept pipeline input? false
Accept wildcard characters? false
-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.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value none
Accept pipeline input? false
Accept wildcard characters? false
-UseSuffixWhenRegistering [<Boolean[]>]
Specifies the registration suffix policy for this interface.
This parameter indicates whether suffixes must be used while registering an IP address.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value none
Accept pipeline input? false
Accept wildcard characters? false
<CommonParameters>
This cmdlet supports the common parameters: Verbose, Debug,
ErrorAction, ErrorVariable, WarningAction, WarningVariable,
OutBuffer, PipelineVariable, and OutVariable. For more information, see

Example 1: Get the network interface configuration
PS C:\\>Get-DnsClient
This command gets configuration details of network interfaces on a computer.
Example 2: Set the DNS server IP addresses for a computer
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 command sets the DNS server IP addresses for all wired Ethernet connections on a computer.
Example 3: Reset the DNS client to use the default DNS server addresses specified by DHCP
PS C:\\>Get-DnsClient | Set-DnsClientServerAddress -ResetServerAddresses
This command resets all network interfaces to use DHCP-specified DNS server addresses.
