NAME Set-DnsClientGlobalSetting



SYNOPSIS

Sets the DNS client global, non-interface specific, settings.





SYNTAX

Set-DnsClientGlobalSetting [-CimSession <CimSession[]>] [-DevolutionLevel <UInt32>] [-PassThru] [-SuffixSearchList <String[]>] [-ThrottleLimit

<Int32>] [-UseDevolution <Boolean>] [-Confirm] [-WhatIf] [<CommonParameters>]





DESCRIPTION

The Set-DnsClientGlobalSettings cmdlet sets the global DNS client settings that are global, that are not associated with a specific interface.

These settings affect the behavior of the DNS client across all interfaces.





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



-DevolutionLevel [<UInt32>]

Specifies the number of labels up to which devolution should occur. If this parameter is not specified, then the FRD algorithm is used. If

this parameter is configured, then devolution occurs until the specified level. This parameter value cannot be set if the devolution level

setting is already deployed through Group Policy.



Required? false

Position? named

Default value none

Accept pipeline input? false

Accept wildcard characters? false



-PassThru [<SwitchParameter>]

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



Required? false

Position? named

Default value none

Accept pipeline input? false

Accept wildcard characters? false



-SuffixSearchList [<String[]>]

Specifies a list of global suffixes that can be used in the specified order by the DNS client for resolving the IP address of the computer

name. These suffixes are appended in the specified order to resolve the computer name that is specified. This parameter value cannot be set if

the suffix search list setting is already deployed through Group Policy.



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



-UseDevolution [<Boolean>]

Indicates whether devolution is activated. With devolution, the DNS resolver creates new FQDNs by appending the single-label, unqualified

domain name with the parent suffix of the primary DNS suffix name, and the parent of that suffix, and so on, stopping if the name is

successfully resolved or at a level specified in the DevolutionLevel parameter. Devolution works by removing the left-most label and

continuing to get to the parent suffix. The default value is $True. This parameter value cannot be set if the devolution level setting is

already deployed through Group Policy.



Required? false

Position? named

Default value none

Accept pipeline input? false

Accept wildcard characters? false



-Confirm [<SwitchParameter>]

Prompts you for confirmation before running the cmdlet.Prompts you for confirmation before running the cmdlet.



Required? false

Position? named

Default value false

Accept pipeline input? false

Accept wildcard characters? false



-WhatIf [<SwitchParameter>]

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



Required? false

Position? named

Default value false

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

INPUTS

Microsoft.Management.Infrastructure.CimInstance#root\\StandardCimv2\\MSFT_DNSClientGlobalSetting



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

Microsoft.Management.Infrastructure.CimInstance#root\\StandardCimv2\\MSFT_DNSClientGlobalSetting



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_DNSClientGlobalSetting class has the various global settings for the DNS client. Global settings include non-interface specific

settings.





Example 1: Set the DNS suffix search list



PS C:\\>Set-DnsClientGlobalSetting -SuffixSearchList @("corp.contoso.com", "na.corp.contoso.com")



This example sets the DNS suffix search list on the computer.
